One year ago, today, I became a child of God. \o/ God had been calling me softly and tenderly to Himself for five years, then saved my soul on February 27th 2011. Praise the Lord!! =D I thought as a special blog post I'd share some pictures from my baptism which took place on March 27th 2011, one month after the Lord saved me. <3

I was so glad that some of my friends and family could come, it was very special! Thank you to everyone who has been praying for me since I was born and who continue to pray for me now. I love you guys. <3
I thank God for His saving grace and mercy towards me. Without Him I would have no hope!! Psalm 40.16-17. He is my Only Hope. <3
I love you Lord.
Blessings!!
