In this article, Amy Julia Becker continues to talk about what she will write in her book "Small Talk." She talks about Katelyn Beaty's story and how she became a godmother. She starts by talking about how Beaty's friends, Sarah and Chris, were expecting a baby, Jesse. And that after a few years, Sarah and Chris expected another child, their daughter, Ruthie. Sarah and Chris asked Beaty to become Ruthies's godmother and Beaty felt very moved. She adds a quote in which Beaty could compare her feelings at the moment with. Beaty felt very happy and she mentions how, by becoming the godmother of Ruthie, she feels like she got closer with Sarah and Chris. How now she feels as if they were more than sisters, in the family of God. Beaty feels like a parent that helps Ruthie grow in faith throughout her living years. Becker also mention about different baptism and how when Ruthie was baptised they said a few words that stayed in Beaker's mind.
Amy Julia Becker, once again, does a good job explaining the story of Katelyn Beaty and how she felt. She adds details from Beaty's story and her feelings. Becker also adds quotes, quotes to connect what Beaty says and quotes from her own books. Becker starts the story by adding the background information. Then, she gets to the main point where she talks about Ruthie. Finally, she summarises what she feels like Ruthie has done to her life. That becoming a godmother isn't about Becker, but about how Ruthie will grow up with God. And that she has also been given the responsibility to take care of Ruthie like her daughter, to act like her parent.
