One Year Baptism Anniversary

On February 26, 2024, I celebrated the year that passed since the day I was baptized. I spent quite some time reflecting on my relationship with God and how I had grown. Here's a peek into my thoughts

I find it funny 

that You always knew  

where we’d be standing today.  

 

As Caleb dipped me down  

into the lukewarm water, 

I looked at You 

and  

said 

“I’m finally letting go.” 

 

Under the water, 

maybe it was just the blur of the lights 

but  

I swear I saw a glimpse of Heaven. 

 

Within a week, 

I fell back into my pit of sin. 

But baptism didn’t mean I 

would ever be  

 

perfect. 

 

 

Instead the Holy Spirit granted me 

 

wisdom 

and 

recognition  

that brought my eyes back to You. 

 

Each day,  

You 

worked within 

and  

around me 

And 

boy  

have I grown. 

I am not at all the same girl I used to be. 

 

A year ago 

I was baptized in the  

name of  

the Father 

who showed me immense love 

the Son 

who died so that I could have countless second chances 

and 

the Holy Spirit  

who guides me through each day. 

 

Though I knew You long before then, 

that decision  

sticks out 

as most important. 

Because I know in 

another year 

another five 

a decade 

I’ll be able to say these words again: 

 

Lord, I see You working in my life.
