Last night...I did one of the most dreadful things to me. I was on a stage. In front of lots of people. And I mean LOTS of people. Not only was I on a stage, in front of lots of people, I had to watch a video of myself, and then get in a pool. In front of lots of people. At least my clothes were on! I got baptized last night! It was the most scary, adventurous, emotional, fantastic, and liberating thing I have ever done. Making that outward expression of my inward change and profession of faith in Jesus Christ. I am so blessed by everything that has happened in my life...and gotten me to this point. By being saved a year ago...to realizing the true magnitude of God's love for me...to knowing that He has healed my heart. Getting in that water...and leaving all that junk there...and rising to walk in the newness of life with Christ, was the most amazing experience of my life! And what made it even better was that my parents were able to be there. After some good ol' fashion guilt...they came. And I know they were happy they did! They sat on opposite sides of the church...my father in the very last row and seat possible...not before he asked me if he was going to see anything that would freak him out however. But the important thing is that they were there. And I couldn't have been happier :)
