I remember looking up to Lisa so much. We lost touch after awhile, and many years later, after a long battle with cancer, Lisa passed away. She left a beautiful legacy to all of us - she never lost her faith in God, and her love for her family. Today, I am in touch with Lisa's daughter, Christina, on Facebook. It is so wonderful to me to see the way that Christina has matured and grown up. I know that God, and her wonderful mom, Lisa, are looking out for Christina, and shining on her life today. I cannot express how much I am thankful for the wonderful role model and woman of God that Lisa was to me.
In keeping with that, my husband decided that he would like to be fully immersed into Christ as well, however he wanted us both to share in the experience together. At first, I honestly did not want to. In my humble opinion, I had been baptized at age 12 by Lisa, and I didn't want to discredit that experience in any way at all. However, I wanted to support Mike as well. After much prayer and consideration, this Tuesday, May 18th, Mike and I were both baptized by our pastor, Darren Walter, at Current in Katy, Texas. It was a beautiful experience, made even more special by the witness provided by my parents, and my paternal grandmother.
Have you been baptized by immersion? Are you excited about your decision? I know we both were . . .
