How often do you worry about what others think of you? Focusing on people and what they want rather than the Lord and what he has in store for you? I do this a lot. Because of this habit I almost missed a glorious moment with God.
I was baptized on 8/15/20. Not as a sign of salvation. Been there, done that, can’t loose my salvation. This was a sign to show the lessons I learned during my vision fast, the convictions of my heart, and my promise to God.
A promise to surrender my future to the Lord. “New hope” was spoken over me at first launch in January. I didn’t know what that meant. Yesterday everything came full circle. During my vision fast, Jeremiah 29:11-14 was my scripture. It talks about the plan God had for you and me; for a future and a hope. I have a new found hope that the Lord has one for me. That he has a plan that I get to be a part of.
The baptism was a outward sign of my promise to God. Kellie was awesome and baptized me in a place called Eden, Utah. Eden… right?!
Baptism is just outward, the real work is in the heart. A daily choice to give my plans, my future, over to God and ATL (ask the Lord) what his plan is cause it’s far better than my own. Open hands, ready feet, actively waiting for what God has planned. Some days it’s so simple and easy to give everything. Others I just don’t want to. I’m human. But God is faithful and I could ask for a better planner.
