A New Beginning

Today was perhaps the biggest day of my spiritual journey. Today I formally said goodbye to the old me and go towards a new life devoted to Christ. Today was my baptism. For me, the most special part of the entire service wasn't sharing my testimony or the actual act of baptism. The biggest thing for me was having my family there to see and share that moment with them.

In a way baptism is special for me because it is a formal declaration of who I am, and in a way I don't get overly worked up about because it merely is a symbol of what is in my heart. When I think about it, it really isn't about me nor should it be. It's about him and the profound effect that he's made in my life to glorify his name.

I also can't forget about all the people that I've met who's constant encouragement and guidance always keep me moving forward. To each and everyone one of you I've had the blessing of meeting since the start, my eternal thanks and love goes out to you all. I don't know what I'd be without all of you.

10 months into my journey I've hit another milestone. Today will go down as one of the happiest, no...joyous days of my life. December 19th, 2004 marks the day I official became a child of God.
