In life, there're many decision we've to made, regardless if it's for minor or major things. there're some decision you've to think carefully and never look back once you taken that step. In my life, there's going to be 3 major decision i got to make; 3 decision i'm going to decide and never look back. no, it's not about what school i'm heading to in the future, it's not about what elective i want to take. not that this decision are not important, but the 3 decision i've to make in this lifetime is far more important than the above i mentioned.
The first important decision i've made in this lifetime is to accept Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and savior. it's the best decision i ever made, really! i've never regret, not a single bit. i truly enjoy the walk with God though at times it might not be pleasant, but neverthless,i'm still thankful that i'm the chosen one.
The second most important decision that i've made is being water baptised. A step of obedience. The old me has gone and the new Alexis has come. This is also one of the decision i struggled in the past, but i thank God i'm given chances to repent and think through. i'm so glad i took this step of faith and decide to obey the Lord for the rest of my lifetime.
yes,so what's the third most important decision? well, it's marriage ! but i'm too young for this right now. will make this decision when it's appropriate for me to do so.
I've made the 2 most important decision. one more to go. ( :
Today is really a memorable experience for me. 16/7/2006 marks the new life of mine. i've died to my old self and raised from the dead ! I anticipate for this water baptism, carried much fear in my heart as i do not know what to expect in the water. come to think of it, quite silly of me.
I was asked to answer 3 qns truthfully when in the water. Yes, i believe Jesus is the one and only way; the one who died and ressurated. Yes, i've accepted Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior. and the final Yes, i want to obey Him for the rest of my life. I love that moment when i submerged into the water cause i know when i come out of the pool, i'll never be the same anymore. A new Alexis has come.
I never knew i could come this far. if it's not by the grace of God, i would'nt know what it is. it has and it must be God; the faithful one.
Recieved encouragement from many sisters and brother. all these are deeply appreciated, really! (( :
my mind is blank, all i can think of is THANK YOU, LORD !
This is merely the beginning of the journey. may this Alexis grow to be a woman of God. may this heart of mine hunger for the Lord. may this Alexis mature and thinks what Jesus thinks. may this Alexis lead a prayerful life. may this Alexis be filled with joy and peace in heart.
yes, Alexis, this is a new me. this is a new journey. i'll begin & end this race beautifully.
Till i see Your kingdom comes. ( :
