Suffer not the little children

For a few weeks my 4 year old gas been expressing the desire to get baptised. Which I think is too cute and have no problem with, ministers and pastors however feel she's too young again I have no problem with that either. I know if it's meant to be God will make a way!
She's been having vivid, almost prophetic  dreams. She's been saying things that are most unchild like, but not scary. Her whole persona has changed, she still challenges me but less and focuses more on kisses, cuddles and quality time with me.
I even had a nightmare in which she was my protector and came to my defence, fearless and brave as she is!
We've had a busy, stressful year I think now she's finally starting to settle, the good fruit is showing from within her. She has more often got an encouraging word for me or her brother and sister sometimes even scripture lol.
Basically at her young age she's developing a relationship with God that is so awesome, on Sunday we went to a baptism service at our new church and she randomly started playing up! She was infact tormenting me and anyone else she could get eye contact with. It was getting to me but she likes to cry loud in quiet times and I can't take the embarrassment.
So I just decided to ignore her, that usually calms her down real quick.
It came to the actual dunking part and she really wanted to get in she took off her shoes and asked me to go with her to the front, which just resulted in us walking past the whole church while the pastor was preaching, eeekkk!!!
Then there was alter call her little hand shot up fast, because she was so small she wasn't seen but I told her she could go up. She walked up boldly to get her blessing, after receiving her prayer he didn't budge from the alter her little face was almost screwed up tight, and her hands were clamped tight together the pastor thought she was upset lol.
It brought tears to my eyes it was so beautiful to see, the presence of The Holy Spirit was all over her, she was there physically but you could see in her mind she was in a much happier place. As she turned to walk from the alter he broke out into a skip.
She was blessed with a children's bible which she is asking me to read to her everyday so far, and more than once!
It was surprising to me and maybe the rest of the church too.
I remember my S.I.C asking why she was acting like that, when I got home I texted "the devil knew his time was up so he started playing havoc!" I mean literally though on a normal day me and her would have fallen out and she would have been to angry to go get her blessing, I thank God for the extra patience he gave me on Sunday night and that what the devil meant for bad, he turned to use for good... I wish all my battles were so simple :)
