There is, well, an eternity more to be said between attending church that week and deciding to be baptized, but for the sake of time, (and I just really want to talk about it) I'll fill in those wonderful stories after a little preview.
In addition to heart, mind and body, in preparing for Baptism I must also turn over everything else to Christ. My old behaviors, relationships, thoughts, ideas, and convictions. Some may be rebuilt, but I must not trust my own insight on which those may be. Before walking with Christ I accumulated sin, but through Him can I start anew. I have no remorse for the relationships, ideas and other things that are lost in my rebirth, but regret beyond explanation that something as such ever had a place in my life.
The date is not yet set, but it is on the Horizon. My heart is eager, my mind athirst to declare publicly my acceptance of Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. For those of you who have felt these feelings before me, you can relate I'm sure to my words. For those of you who have not before felt what I describe, the Lord our God calls us all by name, all you must do is open your ears and listen. :)
