Jun. 23, 2007 - The rest of the story...
If you want to know about this entry you have to go and read the one before this....
Love you guys! 
Okay, now where to start, oh yeah, when he dipped me down, well, he blessed me and baptised me using the power of 'The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit!'.
It was a wonderful and glorious time being baptised!
So, when he dipped me down, I closed my eyes, but somehow I remeber it as if my eyes were open the whole time! I find that a blessing to remeber...and a gift that I'll never forsake. And when he pulled me up I was still shaking but with the Holy Spirit within me! It was an over-powering feeling, being there and having so many people realize you.
I was crying, and shaking at the same time it was so wonderful! So when I got out of the tub one of my friends met me after I walked out of the room...I was dripping wet and I had no clothes to change into. But Baily gave me one of her shirts that she was wearing and that was enough for me! And when I was with Taylor, I was met by the Lady that I had given my stuff to...so, since I was dripping wet with only wet pockets to hold the things,Taylor took them for me while I tried to dry off! The cool thing is when I went down the hall I got so many "Congrats!" from some people that were my brothers and sisters in Christ
It was so awsome how you can walk into a place where you all are the same level, you all are a big family. But no matter what you're going through they are always there for you.
It was so great to have friends who hugged me and gave me some pats on the back and congradulated me on this wonderful day...but sadly my Mom wasn't there at the time, she was at home when I was working in VBS, so one of my friend's Mom's that I knew just happened to bring her camera and took a picture of me soaking wet with a towel draped around me! At first I didn't think that I could pull of a smile since I was still crying, but I pulled it off!
But I thank the Lord for those glorious moments in His presence with my family. It's a moment that I will never forget. I'll see you on the other side!
