Hello everyone! This Sunday evening, I am finally getting baptized! I have been saved for many years, but I never did get a water baptism. When I was young, I was too shy and terrified to be in front of all those people. When I grew up into my late teens, I was "too cool" for church.
Now that I have joined a new church, I finally get to be BAPTIZED! I can't tell you how excited I am!
BUT...
Here is the reason why I am posting this in the advice section....
My husband doesn't even want to attend my baptism. My parents live 10 hours away, and it looks like I'm going to have to go alone. My husband was raised Catholic, and he says that he doesn't believe in getting baptized unless it's done as an infant? Um, what? He hasn't been to church in many years, but can't support me enough to go to my baptism?
It hurts me SO much, and he knows this. I think he might go, just out of guilt (not from me nagging him about it--because I haven't!!), but I really wanted him to be EXCITED for me! He has no interest in church at all, and I'm disappointed about that, but I will be DEVESTATED if he doesn't even attend my baptism. I know I shouldn't let that overshadow my happiness, but it's SO hard not to.
If anyone has any advice, I'd love to hear it... but most of all I desperately need prayers for my husband. Thank you.
