Baptism Sunday
Today we had baptism sunday at church and I got to witness 2 amazing kids get baptized, plus their parents are good friends of mine so that made if even more special. I think both the kids are around 9 and as I was watching them get baptized it took me back to when I was that age. And honestly, I don't even think that I knew what baptize meant or what it even was. But the thing that's so cool at the Vineyard is that anytime we have baptism Sunday they bring all the kids over from kids church and they get to watch what goes on and the kids are always so enthralled with what's happening. I know the first time Peyton seen it he was full of questions and he told us that he wanted to get baptized, I'm so looking forward to that day. He did tell Lamar this morning that he wanted to get bath-tized, I thought that was pretty cute. It's so cool to see all different ages getting baptized, today I think it ranged from about 9-30(or somewhere in there). I was just amazed at what a young age these kids are at and that they're ready to give their lives over to God and make such a big commitment, I think it's awesome. I've actually considered getting rebaptized because when I did it I felt pressure to do it because all my friends did it and I was afraid to miss out on something, I didn't actually realize what exactly I was doing. And now, my life is so completely different, I'm at such a different place now then what I was back then and now I realize there's something bigger then just getting "dunked" I'm just ready to make that recommitment.
