Michigan in My Eyes

Sorry its been a while. I've been in Michigan for almost 3 weeks. I don't have much to say right now, but i have pictures.

From Shore to Shore I'll Go

From shore to shore I'll go
however, its hard, Savior, to know
please push me, Lord, in direction
for I know my wants are far from perfection.
Your Will is where i want to be
but I'm blinded, Father, You see
by Earthly things and the ones I've been craving
so I'll look up and remember the grace thats been saving.

BAPTIZED!!

JUNE 4th, 2008- I'm baptized!! It was the most amazing, most holy thing I have ever experienced. I have never felt so close to God ever in my life! I was shaking as Ms. Lisa (who was baptizing me) was helping me into the jacuzzi and as i was thinking of the singing angels watching us from Heaven, Satan's scream of fear, and the huge grin on God's face. When Ms. Lisa plunged me into the water, tears sprung. Have you ever cried under water? It seems to make you cry even harder. I could feel the Holy Spirit emerging from the water into my soul. And I can still feel it now, and I'll never forget the feeling. I was a new person when Lisa lifted me up out of the water, I saw the people around me and the world around me differently. I didn't know that I would feel physically different, I thought it was only spiritual. I was way off. "Welcome to the family", Lisa said as we squeezed each other tight. I didn't want to get out of the water, for the Holy Spirit was still in it. I could feel it. And I didn't want to leave it, I just wanted to soak in it. But when i reluctantly did get out I was greeted with more treasured "welcomes" and hugs and I will never forget any of them.

So yes, now I am walking closer with God, but Satan has stuck a target on my back. I am now a sign of strength which just tempts Satan even more. But if I stay in the Light of my Lord and Savior I will survive any arrow Satan throws at that me. Because Satan can send any form of temporary arrows into the Light, but he's too much of a coward to step into it. My soul is locked in eternity, and I can feel it. I learned so much that day, things that will make up my future and it ignites a fire in my bones that will never simmer down.

I'll post clearer pictures later. :)
