I hope that everyone had a wonderful New Year's. Our family went to the bowling alley to celebrate. Our church rents out the local bowling alley. We had fun bowling a visiting, until Matt came up to me and said he wasn't feeling good. Usually when Matt says he wants to go home, he really isn't feeling that great. So, our New Year's celebration came to an early end. I did watch the ball drop and gave my sweet little ones their New Year's Eve kiss, as well as dear ole hubby (on the forehead in case he had something contagious). So I ended up texting Happy New Year's to my sis, bro (& Amanda) and parents, Matt's sisters and parents...That was me if you didn't know.
Now that the New Year is upon us, it's time for some to make New Year's Resolutions, Make New Beginnings, and Reflect on the past year. I am excited for the New Year, kind of afraid what the New Year will hold for me and my family, but mostly excitement. I won't bore you with my New Year's Resolutions, I will keep them to myself. Maybe it's because when telling my O' so loving husband my resolutions, he giggled. This might actually be a way for me to keep them this year. Although I did keep one last year...to "find that missing piece" in my life, figuring out all along that piece was actual there, that I just needed to grab it and fit it into my "puzzle" of life. God has really shown his light on me this past year. I became a better person than I was.
The New Year brings great things for me...On January 11th, I will be re-Baptized. Which I am really nervous about speaking in public. I have no idea what to say and when I do speak in front of a large group, I speed talk, even when I have it on paper. So, any suggestions about talking in front of people let me know. I just don't want to make a fool out of myself when publicly announcing that I accept Jesus Christ as my savior. Please say a little prayer that I find words to express myself for God allowing his son to die for our sins and to rise again to sit by his side.
Until Next Time...
God Bless...

I am so excited about this step in your life, Jess! God promises when we open our mouths for him, he will fill it-He promises that to Moses in the opening chapters of Exodus--4:12 I think...
Anyway, I will be praying for you!
love,
Lauren
I've been praying since you told me about the baptism! We are going to try to make it Sunday! Good luck, prayer always helps calm my nerves!!
You're not gonna sound stupid...anyone who is genuine in their spirituality will be so blessed by your testimony, they won't even notice the technicalities...My husband prayed in front of our whole church when Jacob was dedicated...if he can do it, I know you'll b fine...and you'll have a lot of people up there with you for support.
I know when Jarod and I got baptized last year I was a little nervous. But, when I was up there talking it seemed everyone had this glow and happiness for me and the others. It made me feel a whole bunch better! I will pray for you and I know you will be fine:)
Jess- you don't have to worry about finding the right words to say- God will give them to you! I'll be praying that your nerves will calm down though!
