That feeling of magic...

There's something magical about baptisms, whether it's the sense and excitement of a new beginning or whether it's the general atmosphere and the joy that the people have in getting baptised.

It was an emotional time today, people telling of struggles they've gone through and the presence of God being the thing that got them through. What an awesome God we have, it's so touching to see people put all their trust in him, a daunting prospect for many I'm sure.

The feeling I get every time I see somebody get baptised is indescribable, my eyes well up and the butterflies rise up inside of me, always. Wish I could have my time again.

Been a fantastic day though, the magic of baptism, the quality time spent with family and the laughs that come with it and also the time spent with friends at the pub.

And tomorrow, I'm off to London...on my own! Shock horror, never been on my own-how sad is that? But I like new challenges, well mostly.
