My mom, SG aunt, LF and another friend CM came to witness the ceremony. After the baptism, we had lunch together and LF bought me a "birthday" cake as i was "born again" today.
Actually Christians are considered saved and born again on the day we accepted Christ and not really on the day of baptism. Nonetheless, today is a day to be remembered.
I took the baptism course back in year 2009 but did not proceed with the baptism since i did not feel ready at that time. Over these few years, pastor had been asking me when i would want to be baptised but as usual, my bad habit of procrastination kicked in. I wanted to but somehow just didn't get around doing it.
Now that I am going overseas soon, i decided that i should proceed with the baptism before i leave. Hence pastor arranged a special baptism just for me today (normally our baptism is carried out every few months for a few members at the same time instead of just for one person). He also had the entire congregation prayed for me and i could feel the blessings from everyone and high above.
God is great.
