Finally...

Today...August 16, 2015 I have chosen to be baptized in the name of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. 

My Testimony

Just as each of us, I was born into the sin of Adam. I was ultimately headed to destruction in the form of total separation from Christ. Nearly 6 years ago I chose to accept Christ as my savior, but until now…the impact of Christ’s unfailing love for me on the cross failed to touch many areas of my life. This was only because I continuously failed to trust Him in ALL things!

Today I choose to be baptized because I have surrendered my entire being to Christ. I understand that baptism does not save me…but rather that the grace of God reigns over me to cover me and make me new by the work of the Holy Spirit. I know that this life will bring hardships and suffering, but I can always look to Christ.

Philippians 4:10-13 reads that, “I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that once again you renewed your care for me. You were, in fact, concerned about me but lacked the opportunity to show it. I don’t say this out of need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. I know both how to have a little, and I know how to have a lot. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being content—whether well fed or hungry, whether in abundance or in need. I am able to do all things through Him who strengthens me.”

Even though my circumstances change…Christ is ALWAYS the same and He will ALWAYS be my stronghold when the world inevitably fails me.

So…I know that I am imperfect, but because of Christ I have been made new. This baptism is how I choose to proclaim that I am not the same. I am…in fact…forever changed!
