I got baptized again. Last week while I was visiting a church that I often worship at during my visit in Atlanta the Apostle made an alter call for baptismal. I, already having accepted Christ as my Lord and personal Savior and being baptized at the age of 13, always felt the the desire to rededicate myself. Why? Well, for one I was young when I took that decision to follow Christ and though I have no regrets, that decision was not solely my own. The church had more say on which path my life should take and exactly at what point in my life it should embark on this particular stage.
This time my baptism was about me and Christ. It was my decision. Truly renewing myself and putting the old things behind me and embracing the new. And it felt good! There was no major difference simply that I felt renewed and refreshed. This public display was really a private matter between me and God. From this moment on I no longer live in the shadows of others but come into my true self with Christ. He being in the core of it all leading and guiding me through this journey of my adult life.
