If you would have told me a year ago that I would be baptised before the end of 2019 I would have said, yeah right! 

Yesterday was my baptism.

On one hand I feel like a weight has been lifted - I can now move forward as my True Self letting go of all things which no longer serve me. I get to be the person God originally created me to be. On the other hand, I am still afraid and I feel guilty.

I work on my courage to trust and have faith everyday, because it really does take courage and some days are better than others... I have scan results next week and I’m struggling to find the right balance of not hoping too much to be devastated again, but not losing faith either.

I know deep down everything will be ok either way but I’m trying to remain neutral, any advice ?

    oh what joy thanks for sharing such precious news!!  
    your faith comes from him.... the brilliant news is that the more we give to him , our guilt etc the better we feel he wants to do all our fighting, while we rest hidden in him. It’s a bumpy journey  and he’ll never let you down

    much love Heart

  • Congratulations on your baptism! This is such precious news. 

    Be comforted in knowing our Lord knows just how you feel. He experienced the same emotions as He was in a human body. 

    A life with Christ is a continuing journey, it's  life transforming. Not instantly when we're baptised, but a lifetime of transformation. 

    When I had Cancer, I decided to put it in the Lords hands. Don't beat yourself up for feeling fear or guilt, it is part of being human. But, we have our amazing God who is always there for us. 

    He is with you every step of the way. Talk to Him and be honest with your feelings.  He will always listen. 

    God bless. xxx

    Many Thanks,
