I want to thank God and all of you who prayed for me as I was going through severe back pain which had been going on for several weeks. At first the doctor wanted me to do physical therapy before getting an MRI, but I couldn't get my first appointment for that for a few weeks. As time went on, the pain did not ease, so we convinced the doctor to have the MRI first. The delay for PT proved to be orchestrated by God, because the MRI showed 2 acute compression fractures in my thoracic spine which could have been made worse with PT. Even since last week, the pain has eased so much that I don't even remember to take my pain meds! I know that this is an answer to all your prayers for me. Now I need God's wisdom regarding meds for osteoporosis that caused this. Praise God!

God is so good!
A ministry opportunity has opened up for me using my skill set. Crocheting flowers for people in my church/area when they loose a loved one, for Birthdays, baby showers etc. God is so gracious.
Some other opportunities seem to be opening up for me; with regards to evangelism etc. I ask you, to please pray for me to have wisdom. But not to use waiting for the right answer, as an excuse not to jump all in, in service to God. I'm prone to going off half-cocked, but on the same hand I don't want to overthink things then not do anything. Thank you all very much!
Much love and many prayers.
Matthew 28, Onward!

As I shared in my testimony of conversion, my testimony of baptism is also “Gloriously boring.” And it is also impossible for me to tell you about my testimony of baptism without telling you of the Gospel that saved me! Just as it is impossible to tell you about my conversion without the Gospel.
I was baptized upon a solid profession of faith at the age of 4 years old. Although I do not remember any of it. But I don't need to remember exactly when, where, and how the Lord saved me. I know that He has saved me because Jesus died for me, rose again from the dead for me, He has predestined me to come to to Him in repentance and belief in His Gospel, He has called me out this world, and the Holy Spirit lives in me and He is sanctifying me. “And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” Philippians 1:6
It is due to nothing that I have done, “for my righteousness is filthy rags”, I have broken everyone of His commands and I deserve nothing but God's just, holy, and perfect; white hot wrath against me and my sin. For I have lied, stolen, used His thrice Holy name in vain, and hated my brother which is the same as murder in the heart. And that is only 4 of the ten commandments.
I stand guilty before His judgment seat, but God being rich in mercy Sent His only begotten Son into this world. Jesus Christ, He is truly God and truly man. He lived the perfect sinless life that no one could live, and He was beaten, mocked, spat upon, Crucified by evil men, He bore the wrath of God for His own, He paid the price for their redemption, He took the punishment that they deserved, He drank the cup of wrath I should have drank, down to the dregs, not a drop was left. And He cried out “It is finished!” Then He died, and was buried.
But three days later God raised Him up from the dead, showing that His justice was satisfied and the Jesus is mighty to save! Then He ascended into heaven and is reigning victorious on His Throne. And one day He shall return with His glory and judgment.
Now if you repent of your sins, that is turn from your sin and turn to God, and believe the Gospel, you will be saved. God promises He will remove your heart of stone and give and heart of flesh, that can love Him and His Righteousness. The sins that you once loved you will hate, and the righteousness you once hated you will love.
You cannot save yourself, your good works cannot save you, keeping the Torah cannot save you, being baptized cannot save you. Only Jesus can save you! Oh come to Christ before it is to late! He will save you! If today you hear His voice do not harden your hearts. Your next breath is not guaranteed to you.
Now I know that this is being read to or by Christians, but if you are not saved, Oh I plead with you! Come to Christ! He is mighty to Save! Trust in Him! You do not know when your life will be required of you. This is not your best life now, and it may even cost you your life by being faithful to Him. Count the cost. But He will save you if you come to Him.
I'm not going to ask you to accept Him as your Lord, because He already is, He is Lord of lords and King of kings. But I am asking you to surrender to Him, give up the battle for your own kingdom and cry out to Him for His grace and mercy. He is rich in loving kindness and wills that none shall perish.
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”
And if you are saved, give your life to the spreading this glorious Gospel of Salvation to the World! Jesus will have His Bride and has promised that His Church will have victory on this Earth. Matthew 28. Jesus is worthy of all our service.
Much love
Yours in Christ,

When I was a baby my parents had me baptized in the Lutheran church using the titles father, son and Holy Ghost but it wasn’t until I was in my 20s I was shown the baptism according to the book of Acts 2:38 and I was baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of my sins. I fell away from God for 10 years after my husband left. I was in my 30s. I remarried in 95 came back to God 5 years later. My husband and my children were all baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.
Would love to hear your Baptism Testimonies
