Beach Baptism Reflection...

A few weeks ago we had our annual Beach Babtism. Unlike most of our youth events this one had one purpose in mind... you guessed it Babtism! This year was like most years except for this year, but it is one that I will always remember. We had two very differenet people take the plunge. One of which is a good friend of mine that I met thru work, and the other is a student that had been going to Sunrise for about a year. To say the least I was proud of both of these individuals, but it made me start to think of the paths that we take in our lives. I was thinking about the journey that these two people had been on... the sorrows of loss... the joy of love... and feeling of a new begining. In a short time...1 year roughly... I watched God transform these two. God broke them down and built them back up with ease, and all it took was for them to listen and not fight the feeling of God pulling at their hearts. Don't fight God... you will be shooting yourself in the foot.
