Baptism

First of all...I'm sorry for the huge lack of time between posts. I'm not as dedicated to blogging as I am to other things (farmville for instance).

I did have one truly fantastic dripping with "Holy Spiritness" experience I wanted to share with the world though. I recently took a group of youth from our church to Mexico for a week. I'll blog about those experiences when I have more time and dedication because I don't want to sell them short. The Sunday before we left, I asked the visiting Pastor (our main guy is on Sabbatical) to lead a very short sending prayer for us. She said she would be glad too. I wrote the prayer and handed it to her, not expecting much more of the event. When the time came, she gathered us at the baptismal font rather than at the communion rail as is typical in our church. I chalked this up to her now knowing how we do things. Before saying the prayer, she identified each member of the group by name, so she knew who she was praying for. I thought, COOL!!! She is into this, she is not just checking it off her list of things to do today. Then she said the prayer. Ready to walk away, I realized she wasn't done. She then told us each that we had been called by God, and used the water in the baptismal font to remind us of our baptism. TRULY AMAZING!!! I can not do it justice in words, but I was truly dripping in the very waters of my own baptism by the end of the experience. I truly thank the Pastor who made this experience so powerful for me, and I thank God, for the Grace that allows me to be one of his own children, living in those waters, every day.
