Baptism Weekend

        This is more of a remembering entry for me about my baptism weekend so I can look back and remember all the good things that went on. Just in case I need it in my life. :) I was pretty nervous up til the day of, which means I was nervous all the week before. It was a beautiful weekend for a baptism, so beautiful that I could not stay inside my apartment today (day after) at all.
     
       Saturday Day: My parents and little brother came down around noon and we spent the day at my big brother's house so I got to play and hold my nieces and nephews for most of the day until I had to go to the church at 4:30. I jumped with them on the tempoline some and played a card game with my littlest nephew. I also got to hold and see my littlest niece smile a lot at me.
        Then 4:30 came and I had to go to church. I met people in the worship center and then went into the prayer room and up the stairs and got ready to be baptized. Then when I got ready the worship team prayed over me and I did cry a little because just having the spotlight makes me anxious especially even at important times like this. Then before I knew it, it was done and over with. Well, the water part at least. I, of course, stayed for church along with my family. The sermon was about "What's God up to when we are suffering?" The songs that we sung were: The Lion and the Lamb, It is Well with my Soul, Cornerstone, and Great Are You, Lord.
         When church was over, we went out to eat at "Flying Fish". Of course, after we got done eating the parents and little brother had to leave. Before we left to go eat, I got to see and talked to some of my friends that I invited to come. Got to talk to one friend outside, with the sunset behind us, on the church ground (which mean the world to both of us, aka God means the world) and only the two of us. It means a lot to because we haven't been able to do that for a long time. It felt like old times again. Just thanked my friend for coming, even though they were a little late, and they went on to hang out with other people.

        Sunday Day: I slept in late because I was tried from everything that went on the day before and my emotions got the best of me and made me tried too. Got up at around 8:30. I waited for another friend of mine to get done serving at church and then we went out for coffee afterwards at a new place on the Bentonville square. We spent about a hour and a half talking there.
          Then we spilt our ways and went to do other things. I came home needing to fold my clothes but instead I wanted to be outside on another beautiful almost 70 degree weather day. I got my Bible and Bible study and went to the park and just set out in God's Creation and study my Bible lesson for this week. The funny thing was that it was on how to get Godly Wisdom when needed most and I know I have a bad time with remembering to ask for it everyday so it was a good and deep reminder. I thought it was an especially good reminder after giving my life over to Him again and the day right after that.
          I also took a few pictures of me being outside and just the outside to remember the day. They turned out pretty good if I do say so myself. I look pretty confident in the selfie I took of me. Then, of course, I had to go back to my apartment and hit reality again. I had supper and got ready for the night and work week to start again. Overall, I had a baptism weekend that I will love to remember for the rest of my life. I need to compare the two baptisms some other time on here because they were different, for real.
