"Look, here is water..."

10.10.10

What an amazing day.. a day that I will never forget.  A day that I cannot wait to tell my husband, and kids, and even complete strangers about.  This day was the day I got baptized at Diamond Lake. 

"As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, "Look, here is water.  Why shouldn't I be baptized?"  And he gave orders to stop the chariot.  Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him. Acts 8:36  This passage was read at my baptism by my youth pastor.  He said that when I had asked him to baptize me that day, like as soon as possible, it instantly reminded him of this passage in Acts.  Because no matter what is going on in a day.  If the Lord is telling you to do something, do it! Run the good race, run fast towards the goal of God.  You have nothing to loose, only blessings to gain.  For a near three seconds of my life while I was being dipped in the water I had no thought in my brain.  Not one.  Seriously, it was amazing to just not think for a second.  And I'm not sure if maybe it was from the shock of the water being so cold, but I believe that in that near three seconds or so the Holy Spirit makes it home inside of your soul.  And from there on out, you are resurrected from sin and were made new and washed clean from the inside.  Isn't the Lord so powerful and great?! I believe so!

Find God, accept God, find water, get baptized!
