Death to Life

Sunday was a GOOD day. Sunday I was submerged in the greatness of Jesus. Sunday I took a big step in obedience to His commands. With my friends right by my side, I went from death to life. I was baptized at Vintage church and it was the greatest experience of my life. 

Jesus makes me alive. He takes my broken, sinful heart and transforms it. I am a daughter of the King and the least I can do is live my life for the One who gave His life for me. I desperately thirst for the wisdom, grace and love of Jesus and that thirst can simply never be quenched.  I didn't do it for myself. I didn't do it to gain the approval of Jesus. I did it because I was ready. I was ready to surrender and to give it all to Him. With a lot prayer, and a lot of encouragement from the people who know me best I made the decision. I'm never turning back. I'm running straight into the arms of my Savior. 

[Colossians 2:12] the message."No, you’re already in—insiders—not through some secretive initiation rite but rather through what Christ has already gone through for you, destroying the power of sin. If it’s an initiation ritual you’re after, you’ve already been through it by submitting to baptism. Going under the water was a burial of your old life; coming up out of it was a resurrection, God raising you from the dead as he did Christ. When you were stuck in your old sin-dead life, you were incapable of responding to God. God brought you alive—right along with Christ! Think of it! All sins forgiven, the slate wiped clean, that old arrest warrant canceled and nailed to Christ’s cross."
