Today is New Year for this country & because of the election, no one pays any attention to this new year. But today is a great day for many of us as we come together to celebrate 4 of our church members baptism of which, 2 are from our Sophia home.
I am really excited and happy & encouraged too to see 2 of our girls making this decision on their own and making this public declaration of their faith too.
My Short interview with them
Me: " Jina, tell me about how u are feeling right now."
Rojina:" i am feeling happy."
Me: " What is baptism to u?"
Rojina: " I am to die with Christ and to raise together with Christ."
Me:" Soma! How are u feeling?"
Somaya's reply: " I am feeling scare..."
Me: " Scare in good sense or bad sense?"
Somaya: " In good sense Di Di..." (she shys off)
Then, in the evening, we had a little program put up by our small girls in the home as a gesture to celebrate New Year. We all got ourselves into some kind of involvement in performing, dancing and singing. And we ended off with FOOD!!!
I enjoyed my New Year very much, seeing my girls being baptized is the most encouraging moment while in Np. I am looking forward to see more of my girls coming forward to say that they will like to be baptized too in the following year.
Thank U Lord for your death & ressuraction that today 4 of them have made a public declaration. May u watch over them as they continue and take another step of Faith to go deeper in their relationship with u.
Happy New Year everyone!!!
