Sunday

As you all know.. this Sunday is Mother's Day. I'm planning to do something VERY special on this day. After a whole YEAR's worth of thought and prayer, the Lord has opened a door for me. I will be joining the First Baptist Church of Throckmorton and I will also be baptized by submersion. When I was a freshman in high school I joined the FUMC of Meridian and was also baptized then. However, Baptist and Methodist views on baptism differ. After much research, prayer, and thought I've chosen to be re-baptized by submersion. Yes, I've already given my life to Christ and this new baptism is just a public show of my commitment to that proclamation. Ever since I've moved to Throckmorton there has been something in side of me that kept telling me I have a place in "that" Church. The church that my husband attended as a child, gave his life to Christ, left, and now has returned to with his family. What is greater is knowing that after Sunday, I'll have a place of "service" in that Church. And, hopefully our daughter will one day give her life to Christ in this Church we hold so very dear to our hearts. To top all these overwhelming feelings off... My precious Father-in-law is a Deacon of the Church and will be performing my baptism.

Please keep me and my family in your prayers on this blessed occasion.

Pictures to follow!
