July 6th 2008, my baptism day.
I have died to sin, but have found life in God. I am not my own, I was bought with a price, I was purchased with the precious blood of Jesus Christ.
My wonderful church, Seaside Community Baptist Church, had our one year anniversary(July 1st) with a weekend celebration, Saturday was a free community BBQ and Sunday was our churches first baptism! There were about 15 people that decided to be baptized, and I was one of them.
After being saved at a young age and a long time spent growing up in Baptist church I finally felt the call to be baptized. I have had many opportunities to do so, but I am glad that I waited until now. I have a solid understating of baptism and my heart is in the right place. I took this very seriously, it is up there with the importance of my wedding day and the day I will die. Which is beautiful because I felt like a bride on her wedding day I was so excited, and at the same time I felt like it was the end of my life, because it was the beginning of a new life. Im so glad I have a deeper level of relationship with my Lord.

“Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.”
