Baptized!

This morning I was baptized!!! It was the greatest feeling in the world. All the anticipation and nervousness I have been experiencing all went away once I stepped into the baptismal and took Josh's hand. No words can describe the feeling you get once you rise from the water, its like you can feel God beside you saying I am with you and you are mine!

Josh told me to read this

Matthew 3: 13-17

-The Baptism of Jesus-

Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. But John tried to deter him, saying, "I need to be baptized by you come to me?" Jesus replied, "Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness." Then John consented. As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased."

Josh told me he thinks of this story every time someone is baptized. So when I came up from the water this morning I looked and Josh and knew we were thinking the exact same thing. And that was that God was before us saying "This is my daughter, whom I love; with her I am well pleased."

So as I am "remembering" the events of today, I become excited with what my future holds and what road I will travel as a child of God, through his journey.

I also became a member of Cornerstone today!! It feels good to have a church to call home again!

So that has been my day thus far and what a great one it has been, having my family in Auburn and having my Auburn family (Agertons) supporting my felt amazing!!!

I am so thankful for today and ready for what lies ahead!

First post!!!

So, this is my first blog..... So why blog? I have been feeling so disconnected from friends and family lately and thought you know, I could start a blog, maybe one person will read it and know what is going on in my life. A good friend of mine and a person I babysit for, Leslie and I were talking and catching up the other day. She made a comment that really stuck out in my mind that really made me decide to start this thing. She told she felt like we needed to catch up that we haven't really got a chance to talk lately (I let her in on all the drama in my life). It got me thinking I have lost touch with so many people after coming to Auburn, but at the same time life is so fast paced and I stay so busy I haven't even been able to catch up with the people closest to me.
Another reason I felt like starting this blog is because of this relationship I am building. And that relationship is with God!!! Don't me wrong I have had a relationship with Him throughout my life, but this is different. When I first started working at Cornerstone UMC in Auburn, I began going to service. The sermons at this church are amazing I have never experienced something like it. When I leave on Sundays I feel like I leave a completely different person. It is constantly on my mind what was said at church, what can I do relate that sermon to better myself. Josh Agerton did a sermon washing the feet of others, and all I could think about was how can I serve, can i make a difference in someones life? Little things such as coming to Auburn and Cornerstone and meeting the people I think God sent to me. I know he wanted me to come closer and follow(SERVE) Him and he brought me these people to make that happen.
I'm hoping to keep this blog going for those interested to be able to follow me on this journey to who knows where, only God knows!!!!!!!!!
