Its Only By The Power Of The Cross Im Raised

Today was The Day.

I accepted Christ many years ago & have been living my life to glorify Him since then but I had not yet been baptized. It was so time.

(And hooray me, I did not throw up in the hot tub...I was quite nervous that would happen!)

"And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized, wash away your sins, calling on His name." ~ Acts 22:16

The Post Where I Thank My Friends

Im kind of a loner. I live alone because I like being in a quiet home by myself at the end of the day of taking care of other people. If I had the choice between staying at home reading or going out to dance I would probably choose the first option. Large crowds tend to make me claustrophobic & I cant stand having to coordinate things amongst big groups.

But I count my blessings for my friends. They are part of the machine that helps my life keep working. I dont know what I would do without them.

Is it just me or does everyone have a "different" relationship with each friend & each is so integral in a specific way? You know that you are blessed to have them.

Theres a line in a song~ "Im lucky just to linger in your life". I feel that way about each of my friends because I know that knowing them is having an impact on my life that was intented for me (& I just may not know what those impacts are yet!)

The Post Where I Thank God For Never Giving Up On Me

I Feel Like Ive Come So Far...But I Know Ive Still Got So Far to go.

My life is a ride that at some points in the past few years I really had no desire to be on; in the here & now with a clearer & more mature view of myself, others, the world around me & so many other things, I realize (& thank God) that I stayed on this ride.

And I am so eternally grateful that I have found a Father who has never & will never ever give up on me, even when everyone else does. He was with me from my first day & will be with me on my last, & there is no one else who you can put in that slot.

Thank You for my 24 years. I couldnt have gotten here without You.
