Phew

Well fellow bloggers I did it! Yep I did get Baptized on Sunday! And I tell you I have never been soo nervous in my whole entire life. I couldn't sleep and I couldn't eat very much, I have high anxiety and boy this was a big choice to make and I was nervous! I bet we all are about that at some point in our life. But I reassured myself that by heart is in the right place, this is the right thing to do, Jesus will be pleased. I told myself that over and over.

So finally Sunday came and it was time. I got their and 2 of the families I had invited were at the church waiting in the parking Lot. I only invited 18 people total. The next People to arrive were Cody and Jeannie. Jeannie was smiling and I couldn't help but smile back. But I was still nervous. I was determined not to wear one of those baptism suites and so I wore my swim trunks and a blue tee shirt. When everybody got their my dad asked for my Confession. ( Even though I don't really think I had all that big of sins that I needed to repent) And we went in for Jeannie to Baptize me. The water was HOT! I am not even kidding it was really hot. And so then she baptized me! I was shaking so hard though, I was SOOO nervous and everything. Right as I was getting out more people started coming to church. So I did it at a good time.

No I am not a big attention seeker so I did not want the prayer blessing during the service. However it was announced and I got TONS of hugs. Even that was too much attention for me. Here are some of the numerous things that I was told( The ones I don't like)

- FINALLY!! ( That was my least favorite,because I feel that you heart makes you the Christian, and not the water. Getting Dunked into water doesnt mean a thing if your heart isn't where it should be)

I was told several times " Boy I am really disappointed I didn't get to see you". Well I figure they can buck up.

After my baptism Jeannie Gave me a really pretty necklace that I love. And she also gave me a pocket stone, something she carried in her pocket and it gave her peace when she needed it. Anxiety is a big issue with me, so this made my day. I have put it in my pocket every day so far, and I love touching it and it really does give you peace. It is a shiny Stone/ metal patty and it has a cross on it. I love Jeannie and I love Cody too. This just made the icing on the cake. I had a pretty good day and I look forward to seeing other people come to Jesus by seeing my faith in God. And I hope I do a good job.

Walk Humbly with your God, and have Peace.
