A Declaration of Faith

On Sunday May 15 Lisa was baptized at Watermark Community Church. Over 200 hundred people publicly pronounced their faith and were baptized! It was a wonderful day filled with celebration, testimonies and dunking... of course.

Galatians 3:26-27 says, "You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ."
 
"Upon admitting my brokenness and need for a savior (Romans 10:9-10) God has been healing my heart and creating a new life in me (Ephesians 2:4-5).  I never understood what grace was until I realized I needed it (Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:8-9). It has been an exciting few years defined by a new eternal perspective which brings hope, joy and peace (Galatians 5:22-23)." - Lisa
 
 "Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life." Romans 6:3-4
 
"This joyous celebration was a symbol of my faith in God and my new life in Christ!" - Lisa


There are no words to describe the atmosphere, it was simply amazing to be surrounded by 3,000 believers and friends.




I was very blessed to have Brian and Aaron (a good friend and mentor) baptize me!








I forgot my jeans at home, so I had to wear Brian's pants... I looked pretty awesome!

  1. Okay, you win the prize for making me cry and laugh while reading your blog! The picture of you in Brian's jeans is priceless. Do we have lunch on the calendar?
