Chasity was baptized Friday night :) !!!

Isn't prayer amazing! To truly be able to go , told we can go , boldly before the throne of God !! I am so happy to say that Friday night Chasity went to a revival...and was baptized ! I told her that she didn't have to/need to be re-baptized, that what she was wanting to do was rededicate herself, that we are only baptized once. She said she was 8 when she was baptized, and although it was special ( both girls kept their handkerchiefs :) ) part of the reason she did it then was because it was the "cool" thing to do. She said now she was 15, understood what awaits her, and what it means to live for Him...She said she wasn't doing it out of fear or "popular choice" but in His name,because she loves him and is committed to Him. I am so excited for her ! Remember, I said she had a fear of God ( which is good) but was not in LOVE with Him ( which was bad). NOW SHE IS ! She wrote a letter to Nate (Nichols) that was so sweet..it was all about having joy in Christ..how it comes from nothing else..she went on and on about how he needed to allow Christ to rule his life and said, I'm not trying to sound like your mom or your church, but it is so true! lol. She also had Jesus's name written/colored on the paper ;0 (think back to your teen-age years lol) The evangelist who was speaking that night talked about joy and how Jesus is our true joy, the joy that can't be taken away and doesn't leave you crying at 2 in the morning and so much other stuff that really hit home with Chas. She said she knew God was talking to her. Then the evangelist asked Chasity if he could pray for her ! God has certainly been reaching out to her in such obvious ways, such loving ways. Keep her in your prayers...although prayers have been answered for her when it comes to her loving Him, I know this is just the beginning :)! Thank you my God, for Your mercy, forgiveness, love, and power !!! Thank you for prayer!!! Thank You for pursuing Chasity in a way that was/is so obvious to her..I LOVE YOU !!!!
