I'm getting Baptised on Sunday....
And I'm a bit nervous, mainly excited... but yeah...
Anyone else just been baptised?
Man.... I'm really looking forward to it but a little nervous....
I really love Jesus and want to show the world (well my church at least!!) this... I have been really trying to develop my relationship with Jesus over the past 3 months and it is wonderful... I love Him so much!!! |

My mum had a hard time understanding what it was all about and refused to come. I have been brought up in the Anglican church and unfortunately she is very religious. |
