My Baptism Speach

Amanda took the video of my baptism from a distance which is to bad because her Video can't pick up sound very well so If you want to know what my speech was I posted my Speech right below this Video...

I Had A Baptism Yesterday ...

My last baptism was when I was just A Baby & it's just not the same if your Baptism wasn't Consented... Now this time it will be Consented ... This is the Speech I Made yesterday ... "Well to begin with I have been going to Faith Bible Church now for almost a year.  I went to a different church growing up.  My mom usually brought my two sisters and me to church since my dad usually worked on Sundays. Dad use to slander God’s name & preach the Bible in a harsh, unloving way to us while drunk.  His words were always harsh whenever he spoke.  My dad was verbally abusive & sometimes physically abusive.

            My mom mistreated me, too.  I use to try to be very obedient & responsible, did everything my mom asked me to do around the house and always tried very hard to show the utmost respect for her. In truth I was very desperate for my mom to love me.  I realized when I was 14 that I was never going to be able to earn her love.

 My mom & dad have since admitted they were wrong for mistreating me all those years & are very sorry.  I think our relationships have been mending slowly since then, & my dad has been going to church more often, which is good.

            The way I look at life is that we all have trials & tribulations, our own ups & downs.  No life is perfect or ever will be except for Jesus Christ, Gods’ son. I have faults, made mistakes I regret, such as having premarital sex before I met my present boy friend Gabriel Larrabee when I was about 17. I had moments in my life before I met Gabriel when I didn’t think of myself as lovely or loved. 

 I was 8 when I first accepted Jesus Christ into my life, but I didn’t truly understand or even try to follow in Christ’s footsteps until I was 19.  At that time I noticed a huge change in myself because I decided to truly give myself to Jesus Christ with the help of Gabriel.  I have had a lot of growing up & maturing to do & admit I still am learning so much about life everyday.

            Since I had been going to this church I had been re-learning how to walk in the same foot prints as Jesus.  Faith Bible Church is like new, fresh air for me.  I learn something new each time I go to this church and how to be more in synch with Jesus.

            Each day I spend more time discovering how to walk with God, spending less time doing what I want to do and more what I feel Jesus is leading me to do with my life.

There are still times I find myself stumbling & falling short in my walk in Christ, but He helps me to recognize when I make mistakes more then ever.  After sinning I feel so bad that I immediately pray for forgiveness & correction so I don’t make the same mistakes again.

            I am so filled with the Spirit of God that I no longer have the wrongful desires that I had back in my past. I was looking for love in all the wrong places, so to say, & during that whole time Jesus was stretching out to me & trying to get me to take his hand & accept him as the love of my life.  Trust me when I say there is no Love greater then Jesus’ Love! "  ...

 Amanda took A Video of my Baptism but Amanda took the video from the distance & she told me her Camera doesn't catch sound to easily... So I will Post the video up Later bc you can hardly hear any of it but this is the speech that I spoke during the video... which I will be posting Latter when I have more time on my Hands...
