Hey all! I thought I would share these pictures with you, and write why I got baptized another time.
These pictures are in no order, sorry about that, but Blogger is so annoying to rearrange pictures...

| All the people coming back from the water, there were more on chairs, about 50+ people witnessing our baptism. It was truly a blessing! |
 |
| Me, in the back, talking with some friends of mine! The two guys in the striped shirts are the brothers of Gracie. |
 |
| The awesome songs we sand, a couple I new by heart, but some were completely new and were lots of fun to try and sing correctly! :D |
 |
| Listening to Gracie's dad! |
 |
| Me, getting prayed for, it was a great prayer, it truly meant a lot to me. |
 |
| Me, in the middle, getting baptized! |
 |
| Listening to Gracie's dad and his brother talk about what baptism truly is, and asking us why we are getting baptized. |
 |
| Gracie is the singer 2nd to last on the left. :-) |

| Walking out into the cold water! |
I got baptized with a fellow Christian ( Gracie, meet her at her
blog! ) She was the one who picked all the great songs. Her dad and my dad were the ones who baptized us, which I am really appreciative of, thanks Dad! (And Mr. K if your reading this!)
So, there's some pictures, my mom shared a couple different ones, I believe...on her
BLOG.
I got baptized when I was 12 years old. I only got baptized because my parents, family, and friends were all Christians, and wanted to "fit in the circle". It was an unfaithful baptism. I didn't baptize for Jesus, but for myself.
Sunday, I got baptized, which means I died to the flesh (my sin) and gave myself to the Lord. I took an oath and I am accountable to not only God, but also to my family, friends and several people I hardly know: to keep the faith, not to stray from the path and to turn my life over to Jesus Christ, for as long as I live.
Well, that's pretty much it! Thanks for reading!
God bless everyone!
