Bring on the Rain

I was baptized this morning! It felt very cleansing and refreshing inside and out! I am honored to be baptized by my wonderful pastor. My mom, my friends and my little boy were there to watch me be baptized. I prayed that this would be my step into a new beginning with God. The old me passed away and the life that I led according to my own desires have passed away. I have emerged from the water all new and given the Lord my heart and soul. My life is his to control. There will be no turning back anymore. Like Bruce Frye, the country singer that came to our church several times sings, "The Old Man is Dead."

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." 2 Corinthians 5:17

And I long to be a handmaiden of the Lord.

"And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her." Luke 1:38
