#20 - Get Baptized 8-20-08

This is something I have contemplated pretty much all of my life. I had never been baptized because we switched churches and they performed this act at totally different ages. Well I became more involved in a local church here in Hays and the more I learned about the bible, God, and life in general, I knew that I had to complete this task. I began to study the word more diligently and I kept striving to learn. I eventually mustered up the courage to inform two of my church mates/good friends that I had not been baptized. This was rather embarrassing for me since it is something I should have done a long time ago. These two girls, and I must say they are awesome girls, took me in and told me what I needed to know about this wonderful event. I studied and finally I decided that it was time. I asked the preacher one night if I could be baptized after bible class. I expected it to just be a few people and then the preacher. Well everyone who came to class that night stayed to see me baptized. It is a more than wonderful feeling to know that I was cleansed of my sins and to know that God forgave me for the not so great things of my past. I feel like a new person and am more than ready to dedicate the rest of my life to my Lord and Savior. Without Him I wouldn't be here, so I can never be thankful enough for what He did for me several years ago.

God Bless Everyone Who Has Entered My Life.
You Have All Changed Me And I Thank Each And Every One Of You!
