I got baptized this past Sunday 🥹 I wanted to share this beautiful moment with you all. I’ve always been a believer, but because of my own personal journey and the things I’ve walked through, I often felt like I wasn’t really pouring into my relationship with the Lord the way my heart wanted to. Over the last three years, I’ve been intentionally seeking God and growing in my faith, and this year something shifted in my heart. I felt a strong desire to get baptized. I remember the moment that the thought popped into my head. That following Sunday, I went to the church I had only been attending for a few weeks and at the start of service they mentioned a “baptism class.” In that moment, I felt the Spirit so strongly and knew it was confirmation. I’ve had to heal a lot of trauma, and I’ve had to forgive myself for things I carried for so many years. And with the help of some amazing people I’ve been blessed to surround myself with, I’ve learned that God’s love isn’t conditional or something I have to earn. Taking this step in my journey is not something I take lightly, and I’m so grateful to be in a place where my heart is open and I can fully receive the love of Jesus. 🤍🙏🏼

“for it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved”
