Something I realized Sunday re: my walk with God......
~baptized as an infant in 1978
~saved at 16 in July 1994
~reaffirmed in Methodist faith at 17 in March 1995
~baptized by full immersion in the Southern Baptist faith at 31 on 3-22-09
~~~my walk has ONLY began~~~
Timing is very timely, I do believe! Both of my decisions to join the only two churches I have joined have both occurred in March... just before Easter... just before the resurrection of Jesus. I truly feel I have come full circle... and my journey has ONLY begun!!
Hubby (really amazing for us to do this together).
On Sunday, I thanked Jesus for carrying me... all those times when I have needed to be carried... like in the Footprints poem. While I have never left Jesus, I am truly blessed to be walking with him more and more!
Dr. Mark's sermon seem to speak to me alone.. have you ever felt that? John 14:1-14.... This scripture has been on my mind so much lately, both as we recently discussed this scripture in my small group... but also because this scripture is SO powerful to me! I also remember this scripture as standing out to me when I did an intense study of the whole book of John (in 1995 as a senior in high school). So meaningful... so much how I follow to be in the world! Here is the link to the sermon (I could not get the direct link to work, lol).

Thank you Dr. Mark for such an amazing moment and for your amazing leadership and faith in myself! Thank you to SO many people... both those that have watched my journey at Calvary but also those that have seen my journey to date. I love you ALL!
Kaya and Connor were both able to watch us! Thank you Jennifer for sitting with Kaya! Thank you to all in the nursery who brought Connor to watch us... that really meant a LOT to me! Thank you Jennifer and Joe for taking pictures for us too! Thank you to ALL that made it a truly wonderful day for me!
