Baptism 07.21.2024

Before I accepted Jesus into my heart, I didn't know much about Him or His stories, but the more I heard about Him and how He created me to be special, the more I knew I wanted to have a relationship with Him.
I accepted Jesus into my heart when I was 6 years old, at vacation bible school. When I was at VBS, the teachers handed out cards asking if I wanted to accept Jesus into my heart. I knew this was my time and I circled 'yes'. I came home and shared the card with my mom and dad, and we prayed that I believe in Jesus, and that He died and rose again for me, a sinner, and that I need His grace, and asked Him to come into my heart. My favorite verse is John 3:16, for God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in Him, shall not perish but have eternal life.
Now that Jesus is in my heart, I want to get baptized so that everyone around me knows that I am a follower of Jesus. I want to follow Jesus and His example, and I am excited to grow in my new faith with Him by my side. I also want to tell others about the gospel of Jesus.
