Outward Testimony

Today was a great day! Gabriel & I were baptized together at our church, Church on the Hill.

It was something we had been thinking about doing for quite some time, but we never felt like the moment was right. We either weren't where we wanted to be in our relationship with God or we didn't have a church we felt that we could call "home." Until now, that is...

We have finally found a church we feel we belong at, we are keeping our faith as the most important aspect of our lives and baptism was the next step for us. We were able to walk into the baptismal together and help Pastor Elliot baptize each other.

They played a video of us that we recorded on Wednesday night. (I was really nervous about the video) Basically it told our story...both begin about the same, being baptized in the Catholic church as babies. Then experiencing the Christian faith and accepting Jesus into our lives. We should be getting a copy of our video and I may try and post a clip of it on here for you all to see.

I just can't stress enough how special it was to share this exciting day with my loving husband. It was great because we were able to make the promise together that we WILL raise our children in a family of faith.

Christian baptism is, according to the Bible, an outward testimony of what has occurred inwardly in a believer’s life. Christian baptism illustrates a believer’s identification with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection.

Next up: Joining Church on the Hill & getting our boys dedicated!!! (Oh, and finding ways we can plug in @ church even with our busy, hectic lives)

I hope everyone has a great, God Blessed week!!
