Welcome to Gaia! ::

This week I was very conflicted and upset about something. I was baptized today for the second time, and I couldn't decide if I wanted my parents to be there or not. They had me baptized as a Catholic, and while I do realize it's basically the same thing, I also realize that it's very different at the same time. The first time I was baptized was when I was an infant, and I didn't have a choice. I also didn't grow up really believing in God. So I felt that the first baptism was kind of pointless. I wanted people to know that I was part of God's family. But my parents were mocking me about wanting to be baptized again and didn't see the point. I thought about it almost non-stop this week and actually drove myself to tears for two days. Finally, I decided last night that they should be there no matter what. The baptism went great, and God took away any doubts I had before about wanting my parents knowing how I felt about it.

Also, my church family got me a beautiful necklace. It's either white gold or silver cross with a design engraved inside the cross. I love it, and them <3 And of course, Jesus. =D

That's wonderful.. Welcome to the family and here is a song that I picture God saying to anyone that comes into the family. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSqywOCc_MM Its Awesome to see another Family member come to Him!
