Baptized!

[shelovesChrist]

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to let you all in on a testimony. I've been baptized! And I'm so happy. At first I had big doubts and anxieties but I didn't let that stop me. I also thought I'd have the thoughts as I was getting baptized and it scared me but then I threw out doubt and just expected good and after I got baptized I realized that that fear didnt come true but regardless I feel great that I made my outward appearance to the world that I'm a follower of Jesus Christ and I know God is proud of me because He was proud of Jesus when He got baptized. He was front row center. I love Him and I'm proud that I didnt let these thoughts keep me from being closer to God. I'm still walking towards the light regardless of this faulty mind because the God I serve knows my heart and I love Him so much. I love Him so much. =]

Jeremiah 9:23 Thus saith the LORD, Let the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:
24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgement, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord.

How wise of you to press through all the OCD rot and "set your face like a flint" in your determination to not let it rob you of your determination to follow Christ in Baptism.
I'm proud of you too! Hope you don't mind me saying that.

Thank you Mitzi! I don't mind, honestly I didnt get it LOL. I feel so slow but thanks again. God is love!

Sorry for being vague. I have a thing about Pride. I fret a lot that I'm being proud and don't want to encourage it in anyone else. The only way I can keep from being proud... is to actually admit that I am.
You're not slow... I was just attaching my feelings to what I said to you about being proud of you.
Sorry bout that.
