Baptism

A few Sundays ago, we had three baptisms at church. I was one of them.

We gathered outside of the church at the end of service. It was a hot day and everyone stayed to be a part of this.

We shared our testimonies and the events that led us to this point in our lives. All three stories were emotional. And beautiful.

(even though it was 100 degrees outside, the water was colder than I expected. it took me a moment to get used to it)

All three of us wet. They all joked that we were lucky to get cooled off on the hot afternoon. They hugged us even though we were soaking wet. There were so many encouraging words shared - "your misery will be your ministry" and "the Lord really wanted you"
