So I am sure you are wondering what I did. I will get to that in a moment. I want to tell you about how I came to do this thing in the first place.
In 2009, I was brought back to the Lord and really understood that He loved me no matter what I did. I could do nothing to earn his love for me. I was coming from a life that was full of abuse and lies and people not speaking truth to me. They would tell me they were the church but their actions did not hold up to biblical truth.
I accepted Christ as my Lord and savior on October 18, 2009. I was then baptized on Nov. 1, 2009.
I mainly got baptized then because of the denomination I was attending prior taught me that to be saved and go to heaven you had to be baptized. So I did what I thought was the next step in my walk with the Lord.
I have not regretted doing that. However, I have felt for a long time that I needed to be baptized again for the truth that I knew and because I want the world to know that I have been changed and I am living for Christ and want the Holy Spirit to guide me and teach me more.
So there was this thing in Cambodia. Awakening was a retreat if you will for 3.5 squads. (I, O, S, and half of T squad) we also had our hosts from Cambodia with us. We had a guest speaker, Gary Black. He helped start the world race back in 2010. He leads G42 in Spain.
On the second day he talked about baptism. I felt the Holy spirit and Jesus tell me that I needed to take that step and get re-baptized. So that is what I did. I fought Satan the whole day. He was telling me that I was doing this and it was irrelevant. But I knew in my heart that this was the real deal and that I was doing this because the Lord told me to. I am not the same person I was in 2009 nor am I the same person that started the race.
So on April 28,2017 I walked into the pool and new that I was doing this to proclaim God’s love for me and that I was going to live for Him for all the rest of the days of my life.
