Well, I spent much time in prayer and study (years). My heart has been in a state of conflict for too long. I finally decided that this was holding me back and no longer would I allow it! I was water baptized on Saturday Oct 3rd. I really did feel a huge weight being lifted as I shared my thoughts, agreed with my friends as they spoke God's truth to me, then a refreshing dunk in the waters of the Palm Bay Aquatic Center pool! Just before my baptism I was filled with joy as I watched Elli experiencing the amazing effects of letting go and letting God! She too was baptized. What an amazing experience it was! The fellowship in itself was so free. This truly was a chain that had been weighing me down..."My chains are gone, I've been set free..." Of course, I was set free on the day I accepted the Lord as my personal Savior. This was just another branch that needed to be pruned and I allowed God to take hold of my heart as I gave it to Him FULLY! I have been praying for God to fill me with HIS confidence...Long story short, this was the first step and the changes are already becoming evident to me! Thank you Lord for being so patient with me! Thank you for making it so simple for me to come to You. Forgive me for making it so difficult! Help me to let go as You work miracles in my daily life! I will trust you and love you with all of my heart, soul, mind and strength!
