Baptized!

After taking the leap of faith and admitting that you believe in GOD without question…I guess the next step is to be baptized! We made arrangements on a Wednesday, midway through our Bible study to do so. While chatting with the Minister regarding formalities of Baptism my hubby pops off, “Now don’t hold back when you dunk the wife…she can hold her breath a long time!” (ha ha…he’s so funny!)

The night of the baptism the Minister asked, “who wants to go first?” I say “The hubby…I’m sure the water is going to boil a little when he gets in and I want it nice and warm for me!” The hubby pipes up, ”Don’t forget, she can hold her breath a long time…go ahead, keep her down awhile, she’s in need of a lot of cleansing, if she starts to kick, just means she wants to stay down a little longer!” After we changed to dry clothes, the Minister says a prayer and a few words to the congregation. He then says to my hubby “Now, you are not only man and wife, you are brother and sister.” My hubby looks at me and says “ Honey, we went under the water in Washington but I think we came up in Arkansas!”

Seriously, being baptized was a very spiritual event! I highly recommend it to everyone!
