I got baptized a year and a half ago for the first time. When I got baptized I knew the Lord existed but I didn’t understand what It mean’t to follow him. Have you ever heard the phrase “don’t be a fan, be a follower”? I was for sure a fan. I didn’t know the Lords voice, his love or his promises. I didn’t know how much better the life is following Abba was. I never understood what it meant to be a child of God or what it mean’t to surrender everything to him. When I got baptized the first time, I didn’t have the right intentions. I liked the sound of the life Abba could provide, but had no intention of changing a single thing to get that. I just expected the Lord to do it all and I could do whatever I wanted- wrong.
I can now full heartedly say I have fallen so unbelievably in love with the Lord. I now understand that Jesus has chosen me since the very start and now, I choose him too. I am now prepared to follow him in the easy things AND the hard things, knowing that there is no better way than His. The Lord has made me new. Whoever I was in the past is no longer who Identitifies me. I chose to get rebaptized as a symbol to commit to spending the rest of my life following Jesus.
The day of my baptism is a day I will remember forever. It’s insane how different it was this time around. The Lord was so present and I saw him everywhere and in everything. The joy and pure bliss that filled me that entire day was unreal. It was so beautiful and surreal to be able to experience it with my new family that I have found here. I got to get baptised with my brothers and sisters, while the rest of us were on shore celebrating and screaming with us. After we all got dunked a bunch of people ran into the water and we SCREAMED at the top of our lungs into the waves. What a perfect day. What a perfect family. What a perfect place. Most of all, what a perfect God.
so in light of this here are a few pictures:
