Redeemed ✨🙏🏼🤍 . I was saved and baptized as a kid and I’ll be honest I never thought I would be baptized again. My faith has always been important to me but I will admit for sometime now I have been very “lukewarm”. At the start of the year, I decided I wanted to really lean in with my faith. Reading the word daily, talking with God daily, asking for Him to really work in my life. I started attending church in person again and tried a couple different places. I had been to Zeal previously and enjoyed it but decided to put it last to go back and try since I had been before. I asked God for a sign on where I should be and one that I couldn’t misunderstand. One I would know was from Him. I went back to Zeal Super Bowl weekend and pastor JD says “I don’t care who wins, I’m just an Alabama fan who’s lost our coach and some players and I’m going through it” it may seem cliche to y’all, but if you know me Alabama is where I went to college and I am a hugeeee Bama football lover. I had been to zeal before and had no idea. And that day he said that...wow. When he said that I chuckled and looked up and said okay God. He really gave me a sign I would undoubtedly know and understand!!!! So I’ve been at Zeal ever since but more than that I’ve started to get involved, meet people etc. but in February I thought “hm maybe I should get baptized....” But I felt like God was saying “no not yet you’re not ready” so I decided to wait...I really leaned in at this point. Talks with God got longer, I felt closer to Him than ever...and I said I’m going to get baptized next time it is done. Fast forward, I found out I was being laid off from my job of 3+ years...and you think someone’s world would shake (and for a day or so it did) but the unexplainable sense of peace that surrounded me was so strong and I knew Jesus did this for a reason and I trust and believe in that. I realized it wasn’t just me leaning in this year but was the Lord drawing me in to prepare me. Then they announced the next baptism Sunday...the week after Easter, the day after my 31st birthday. Our God is always on time. I feel a peace and renewed start to my journey. Thank you God for loving me and leading me! 🫶🏼🤍✨
