What I'm thankful for: March 23

Today I'm thankful for...

Baptism!

I was baptized one year ago today! It was a windy Wednesday night, and I was the first of around 23 people that were scheduled to be baptized that night. I was almost late to service because Will and I went to Subway beforehand and didn't eat quickly enough, so I missed the "lesson" about how to go under. Luckily, Pastor Dave gave me a recap before I went under. I remember thinking that the church was packed. I also remember hoping that I didn't slip and fall. But most of all, I remember feeling clean when I came up...like clean from the inside, if that makes sense. I declared my faith and proclaimed that I was a believer in Christ in front of the church and God, and even when I mess up (daily, no, hourly), I am still one of God's children, and no one can take that away from me!

Public service announcement: If you're looking for a church to attend on Easter weekend, I would LOVE to invite you to mine. I go to Joy Church, and we're having services on Saturday, April 7 at 5 PM and 7 PM and Sunday, April 8 at 9 AM and 11 AM. It doesn't matter what you look like, what you wear, or even if it's been years since you've been in a church. If you're interested in coming to a service (I'll go with you, no matter which one you decide to attend!), just leave a comment with your email address or phone number, and I'll contact you; I have it set where they have to be approved before they're published, so if you don't want anyone to see your email address or phone number, don't worry!
