Divine Romance

A deep deep flood, an Ocean flows from You

Of deep deep love, yeah it’s filling up the room

Your innocent blood, has washed my guilty life

In Your presence God I’m completely satisfied.

For You I sing I dance, Rejoice in this divine romance

The fullness of Your grace is here with me.

* lyrics by Phil Wickham

14 of us were baptized on Saturday night, and 36 the entire weekend. Isn't that amazing?! God was glorified, that I am sure of. I was nervous prior to the actual baptism, but most of that was fear of my toddler acting up in the middle of service, since the baptisms were at the end. An hour is a long time for a 3 year old to sit still, in a place she isn't used to. But she was great, and when the time came to go upstage, God was with me and kept me calm. 

I feel the entire experience brought me closer to knowing Jesus. Knowing what He went through, and making Him more real in my heart. I plan on spending the rest of my life getting to know Him as much as He will let me, until the day I meet Him in Heaven.

Celebration. With family and friends. 

1 Peter 3:20-22

And this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at God’s right hand—with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him.
