It had been a deep desire for years. I wanted so bad to be baptized. It has heavy on my mind sense my brother died. I have wanted to get baptized. My mother never believed in baptizing a child that wasnot old enough to choose for themself. I had always thought I would take the religion of my husband, but Inever married. With the death of my brother I decided it was time for me to make a desisoion. Although the thoughr of belonging to any set chruch gave me great aprehention I wanted to be ba[tized. I just did not want to belong to a church , because after my sister joined her husband's church she changed.. She became very hauty, and quite frankley a bit of a snob. I did not want that to happen to me, and shied away from oronizeed churches.
I looked for years to make it happen to get the baptism have wented so long withoug=t being locked into a spacific church. I called all around but everyone wanted me to join their chrch before i could get baptised.
I have a neighbor/friend/that is more like a daughter to me. Her whole family treats me like family. She , her daughter, and her sister all got together to make my baptism work. They spoke to the pastor that had baptized my neighbors daughter. It was decided we ( me my neighbor and her sister and her sisters daughters daughter would all be baptized yesterday in my neighbors sisters pool, it is really big adn very clean.
A deep cloud cover threatened to rain on the event. It hung over the pool and even sprinkield a little. We decided to get acclamated to the pool water before the paster got there, as we each climbed into the water we could feel the cold water starteling our bodys an we climbed into the pool. The clouds thicker we looked up and asked God to push back the clouds till the baptism was over, and just like a merical the clouds slowl bgan to part and the sun peak out from behind them.
As the pastor began the baptisms, first one then the next of us tiill we were all baptized . The thought of getting baptized made me shead a few tears of joy even before i was fully in the aater. I am terafied or large amounts of water the lord walkedinto the water with me , and held me up even though my head was dunked under the water.
I was saved when I was 7 years but never baptized. I can now scratch geting baptized off my bucket list.
I will never seezed to be amazed bythe leangths my neighbor will go to to make me happy. She is truely more of a daughter to me then a friend or neighbor to me. I AM VERY HAPPY TODAY! as many of you know I do not have many of those, Maybe now I will have moree happy days in my life.
