1 year ago today I publicly declared my faith in Jesus through baptism!
Water baptism beautifully depicts our identification as believers with the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is an outward demonstration of an inward regeneration of what Christ has already done in your heart. It symbolizes our death to the old life, with all that was ugly and ungodly being buried and washed by the blood of Jesus, and us being resurrected into a new life in Christ Jesus. Baptism does not save us, or contribute anything toward our salvation, but is an act of obedience to publicly exalt Jesus as your Lord and Savior to the world.
I didn’t have any intentions of getting baptized that day but God had put it on my heart for over a year, I was just waiting for Him to tell me when. At the end of the service while worshipping, the Holy Spirit manifested His tangible presence in me and called me into the waters to take that next step of faith. After going under the water, I broke down in tears hysterically, the presence and peace of God was so real in that moment. June 29th, 2025 was a day I will never forget. To have my Dad there who has been my spiritual mentor made it extra special. It has been so sweet to reflect on this day and see all God has done in my life since. I’m so thankful for the people God has placed in my life and how He continues to shape, lead, and guide me into the woman He created me to be. I can’t wait to see where He leads me to next! All glory to God ❤️
“Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.” Romans 6:4-6
