Being Baptized

I've made the leap...I am going to be baptized Baptist this Sunday the 13th at 7pm...I'm so looking forward to taking a dunk into the Holy Font. I know my Lord wants me to do this and that this is my next step in the journey we all have called "life." I knew this was something that had been impressed upon my heart for quite a long period of time and each time I turned around baptism was the subject of so many different discussions. The Lord was yelling out to me to get my hide in gear and get it done.
I must let you know of my conviction...I know the Lord suffered and died for my sins, He lived a perfect existence but lived the life of a peasant so I could go home to my Father. As I sit here and reflect on the journey that I've had with the Lord my eyes well up with tears. He's been so faithful and forgiving in all the wrong-doings of my life. If you think back, He's been just as faithful to you too. In the depths of all the darkness that I've endured He was there with His light and His love to help me see how much He loves me. I can finally say I found home on earth...It's in my Lord's presence. So, now it's my turn to be obedient and be baptized.
