Baptism...Its NOT for little babies anymore.

In my BC (Before Christ) days. I thought Baptism was for little babies who got sprinkled with water in the face and/or in some cases dipped in cold water in a marble bowl (Poor thing). Well its not for little babies. It's for people who choose Jesus.

My small group and I were invited to witness our friends baptism yesterday. When I've watched people in past baptisms at my church, the anticipation reminds me of how I was feeling when my kids were born. I was a bunch of emotions all rolled up into one, anticipating the moment. This was an important milestone in Peter's and Anita's life and I am extremely happy for them. My small group and I are so blessed to have wonderful friends in our lives.

Its interesting as I was watching people get baptized, since I have been to a few at our church, there is a special moment I look for. The moment is the first few seconds as a person is lifted out of the water. Do you ever wonder they are thinking? I watch for it in their eyes. I seek that moment in time a person has who has just publicly announced Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. It's that moment which reminds me how awesome our GOD is. Because of Him a commitment was possible. It reminds me how important this commitment is and to stay true to that commitment. It is amazing, no wait, its a blessing to see people change in your life through GOD. Peter and Anita you guys ROCK, I saw in your eyes how I felt when I was lifted out of the water when I was baptized. Its an amazing feeling, Right!! I am so happy you made the decision.

Here is a pix of Peter, Anita and our small group leaders Paul and Alana. Paul and Alana If we haven't told you, the both of you guys are awesome small group leaders. Your guidance in my walk is always welcome and your friendship is truly a blessing.

I love all you guys!
