Baptism

This is a question sent in by Deb on the “Ask Aaron Anything” link:

WHO’S EXCITED ABOUT BAPTISM SUNDAY???????

My answer:

Deb, your testimony was so amazing. I believe that this baptism on sunday was the best thing I have been a part of in a long time. Everyone who was being baptized was truly a testimony of God’s grace and ability to change lives. Read Kyle’s post on ourrisingsound.com he gave such a great review of the day. I have to say “Thank you” to all of the people who shared what God had done in their life. That was AMAZING!!!

Wow…I really had no idea that my testimony would touch people in the way it did. I mean…I KNEW what God did for me was incredible…and I knew a couple of other people thought so, too. But, I suppose I didn’t realize the impact that it would have on others. Thanks for giving me the encouragement to share it with others outside the “safe haven” of our sanctuary. I have to reinforce something Kyle said in his blog….one constant that remained from the first day I visited the church to the day I gave my testimony…NO ONE ever made me feel judged. NO ONE ever made me feel less because of who I was. NO ONE ever even mentioned anything at all about me living as a gay woman. EVERY ONE just poured out their love on me, and that was definitely a key element that the Lord used in drawing me in. THANK YOU ALL!!!!

Deb, you are such an encouragement to me. Seeing what God has done in you and now through you is humbling. You are a powerful woman of God and I’m so excited to see the lives that God will touch through you.

God is good!

Mom, I’m so proud of you and how far you have come. Your ability to be obedient, faithful, and submissive is so impressive. Hearing you declare your testimony and seeing you get baptized was the most beautiful thing that think I have ever witnessed. I thank the Lord everyday that He gave me the opportunity to witness His miracles.

Deb I want to thank you so much not only for your testimony but giving me the encouragement I needed to give my own testimony. I love that I was baptised with you and appreciate the power God filled the room with on that glorious day. Only by Christ have we been saved and he continues to work in such a powerful way through our lives now not only as listeners but desciples true to the gospel of the truw Lord and Saviour our God Jesus Christ. Thank you ever so much and may God’s graces forever touch your life as it has most surely touched mine. Remember forever, we didn’t revoke, we were delivered. May the glory be to God forever, Amen.

Thank you all for the encouraging words you have all poured out on me. The Lord has revealed so much of His grace, His mercy, and His love to me recently. I am humbled and thankful every day to Him for these blessings, but also for the awesome people he has placed in my life. I love the way His perfect plan comes together! THANK YOU JESUS!!
