Well I had another great week and am now I'm starting spring break week with my children. Not much planned, just normal "kid" stuff all week and catching up with my best friend Jen from South Carolina (she's in town w/her two boys). I hope my boys take it easy on me: )!
I can't let this evening go by though without sharing this story. Yesterday Dan and I were talking about being baptized and the fact that I hadn't been. His words were something like, "Well, what are waiting for?" I agreed but had NO idea how to go about "scheduling" it. I always thought I would know when and it would just kind of happen...not be PLANNED! We also discussed that we've never witnessed our church doing an "unplanned" baptism. So I thought, I'll just look into it soon and see what I come up with...knowing me it would be put off for some time.
So this morning we went to church, like normal, and it was an amazing service. As the service became more and more inspirational Pastor Mike invited anyone, that has never been baptized, to be baptized. I was in shock! Could this really be happening? My hands started sweating and shaking, my heart started racing and after a couple of moments of thinking about "go or not go" I went up and was baptized in front of my church, with NO plan other than God's plan. How awesome is that? You ask for something and you just might get it! I must say today has been one emotional day and I've never felt more loved in all of my life.
Have a blessed week...mine is already off to a great start!
Love,
Jenny
