Today I was baptized.
Yes, baptized. And I am so excited about it. The church I’ve been going to held its first baptism celebration today, and I and several others were dunked in the swimming pool at the nearby sports complex. Then, in true Rebecca (er…Jane) fashion, I very un-gracefully got out of the pool much the way a golden retriever would if it had to doggie paddle back to shore. Yes, there was doggie paddling involved.
This was one of those things that God was telling me to do, and I said, “Um, I don’t really think so. Maybe I’m misunderstanding…” But He persisted and I’m glad He did. I am ridiculously happy. I finally listened and obeyed. Things have been very, very hard for me the past several months, but God is working on me. If He hasn’t given up on me by now, than I guess I can’t quit, either.

I’m still ready for cold weather and Christmas. I’m listening to Bright Eyes’ Christmas album at the moment, actually. I have ideas for a special little something for our friends of TD for Christmas.

And now, I either have to write a short story that’s due in two days or go to bed.

Peace, love, and the ability to doggie paddle when necessary.
