Baptism Basics

Day 13:


God totally gave me this topic for today. I have been meaning to discuss it, but it kept getting pushed on the back burner. But God always brings things to the forefront.


I love God and how he brings people back to Him. One of those ways is through baptism. Baptism is a step of faith. You will never have the same relationship with Jesus after you take this step. Its amazing! It's like you are getting married to God, well sorta. There is more of a responsibility to act out in faith and strive to be more like Jesus. I take it as a commitment. I was baptized on October 9th, 2008. I didn't take the decision lightly. I believe God was moving me to be baptized, and even cooler he spoke to me through a song. The song was by Dierks Bentley called, "Soon as you can." Best song ever, and like I said in one of my earlier posts, some songs can be made into God songs. This definitely was a God song, because it brought me home.


I will talk more about this tomorrow, but one of my best friends is getting baptized tomorrow night. To say the least I am so excited! God foretold me this was going to happen months ago through a dream. I love when things happen for His glory.

Today was a good day. I hung out with my friends, and had an awesome conversation with one of them. I have a lot of things to think about now. But they are good Godly things to think about. To say the least, it left my heart very happy. 

Lord,

I praise you for today. You gave me a lot to think about today. I thank you for all the opportunities I had to have great conversations, which then lead to conversations about you. I thank you for bringing a smile on my face with that crazy funny dream last night. I praise you that you listen to me when I speak to you. I praise and will continue to praise you for fighting my battles and my friend's battles. I again thank you for blessing me with the friends that I have. I pray that you continue to be with my friends as they bring glory to your name tomorrow, as big decisions are being made for you. I pray all of these things in your name.

Amen.
