Getting babtised was such a wonderful thing for me.


When I was a child I almost drowned and since that time I have had a fear or water going over my face. I knew that I had trust in the Lord, but still the human part of me was terrified of it.

I had talked to my husband about my need to be babtized, and my fear, and come to find out, he also wanted to be babtized. We were still just praying, and had not decided to talk to the pastor. Then at last weeks Sunday Service, the preacher mentioned that anyone that wanted to be babtized should let him know. We did and he filled the babtistry and Sunday night after service we were babtized.

I would love to be able to tell you that I was not afraid. I was so scared, I just knew he would drop me in that water and I would fling my arms out and take a gasp and fill my lungs with water.

It didn't happen like that, but I was afraid. I was able to hold on to my love for God and my faith in Him that nothing would happen, but I was still afraid. I know that fear is from Satan, and I would not let my fright, because of a childhood incident, deter me from this wonderful experience.

I came up feeling renewed and so close to God. I am glad I did it. There were 6 of us and one of them was a 9 yr. old little girl. She had gotten saved 3 weeks ago. The little girl, another woman and I were the only females and we stood there for a moment while I led them in prayer and it felt like we were literally on Holy Ground.

God is so good to us all. I am so in love with my Heavenly father and so glad he called me to be one of His own.
Congratulations! Being baptized is such a wonderful thing....it had a profound effect on me!

It will be the computer that comes with us on our road trips...so its cool that it matches!

Had my overnight company(Malachi) he stayed a couple of nights while taking care of business here in town...we had a wonderful time...it was so good to see him! I am just waiting now to see the whole family, the kids have had to change a lot!

Well all you beautiful people...have a blessed day and stay warm! It seems its cold everywhere...so much for global warming...HA
Congrats on the laptop! I finally gave into our local phone company and hooked up to wireless DSL, so now my daughter can use her laptop when she is here. I love it and should not have been so stubborn. I hated putting out the $200 to get it installed, but now I'm glad I did.

Glad you are having your friends coming home!!!

Re: Gabby's

I want to also say - Good morning to all the ladies and our gentlemen.

And I have a confession - sometimes I love to chat and chat and sometimes I don't. I love you all and hope that doesn't sound offensive. I'm not always good at posting all my goings on, but I do read what you all have to say!

Hope you all have a wonderful day!!!

I had to show my husband what NOT to click. "Honey, this is a stupid advertisement. Do not answer surveys or polls. DO NOT, under any circumstances, click on Victoria Secrets when you are looking over your boat websites, because I am lethal! I know how to check where you have been. You do not know about all of that."

Hard to believe I know...we are glad to see you when you can be here! This is a place to come to when you want...NOT another obligation in life, although we do miss ya when your not here for along time.
