Baptism

Tomorrow morning I leave for Byron Bay again.. this time just for a lecture week, our very LAST one, actually! In two weeks I'll be in transit to Czech Republic, and I am sooo excited!
I really loved Byron Bay, so I am really excited to be going back. One thing I am looking forward to is that I am being baptized there this week.
It may come as a surprise to some of you that I have not yet been baptized, but it is indeed true. No reason specifically, I just hadn't felt a strong pull to take the plunge...(pun intended). It really has a lot of symbolism for me here. This journey that I'm on right now is a turning point in my life... full of new revelations of God's love, restoration, and renewal. It just seems right to mark it with a choice of commitment to go deeper into His love and be baptized. It is something I have been thinking about for the last year, and then when we were in Byron last time I saw a student from the base there get baptized. It was such a beautiful thing that took place, I remember thinking to myself, "why haven't I done this yet?"... and I believe God spoke to my heart and said something like "well, no better time or place." Okay, so I don't remember the exact words... but I just knew in my spirit it was time.
I just wanted to let you know before it happens... I'm not sure what day it will be, it might actually be one of the mornings.

Take care this week, bloggers!
