Motivated

  It's been two days since my baptism and I still can't believe it happened and that I actually did it. I had been wanting to do this for years but never really got the opportunity or other things seemed to be more important [which looking back on it now is quite a ridiculous statement].

  Now that I've begun to set my roots here in Illinois and am involved in a wonderful church that the Lord has shown me the areas I could plug in, I decided, this is my time to just go for it! And I did!

  Maybe for some they don't feel the effects of their baptism right away, and I'm not really sure if your supposed to feel any different haha. A friend who also got baptized that day asked if I felt any different and I just sorta shrugged and he kinda laughed and mentioned that was his answer too. Well, now that I've had time to reflect on it I can say that I do feel different,
  I feel more motivated to follow after Christ and do His will. When I made that commitment to accept Jesus as my savior, I surrendered all I had to Him, and now I feel like I've truly followed through with that commitment by getting baptized.

  I've become more satisfied with the little accomplishments I have made so far because after all they are accomplishments and lordwilling they will lead to even BIGGER ones, which is exciting! Just yesterday I ran a 5K and I couldn't believe it [I haven't run one in years] so it's motivating and I pray that God will just continue to help me with everything I want to do, no matter how small they may seem.

I only want to please Him and not be concerned with what others may view as impossibilities, because with Christ all things are more than POSSIBLE.
