So Im not big on personal stuff on this junk truck anymore but today something happened to me in such special ways I will never forget. It all began at 7am I am smacking my phone to make it shut up. I have to finish the potluck dish for after church today. I was able to get my dish done taken care of showered Jenn up out of bed showered an her dish an we made it in time for our 2nd membership meeting at church. As we were in conversing with a few fellow members at church Joe the pastor comes walking through and says Angela... I was taken by surprise dead in my footsteps. I looked at him an said Joe I didnt do it. He says its been brought to my attention you havent been baptized. You are correct I have never been baptized. He said we can get that taken care of today if you would like. The first thing that went through my head was where is he going to take me to bless my soul in a body of water... Jenn said yes go for it. He told me everything would be fine. Throughout the 10 minutes I stood there I thought to myself I am going to be a drenched puppy and will have to go home an change clothes. Needless to say there was no body of water but there was an alter and the holy water waiting for me. When in doubt pray right. Every ounce of my body was shaking as I knelt down at that alter an my body opened up my soul never felt so full of life. I was literally shaking from head to toe. I kept telling myself praying to myself that I was going to shake out of my own skin if God doesnt help me stop shaking. I felt warm hands surrounding my temple an I breathed a little deeper. But the shaking still remained. Possibly remained for 15 more minutes after the ceremony finished. I felt like everything that I had ever done wrong in my life was replaced by all the love an strength that God has provided for me. Every corner that I turn everything in my life is nothing but positive. Jennifer Barringer being my biggest positive outlook. She was the one who asked me baby can we go to church on Sunday morning... Absolutely yes we can. I never knew that in my almost 32 years that from that day forward things were going to change rapid and dramatically. After a few weeks of desiring for Sunday service to approach I finally had to let Jenn know whats really going on in my mind. She was happy to hear that especially from me. Of all people right... Me... Seriously.. yeah the big secret is yet to come. So as the day progressed on our memberships and my baptism have brought a lot of smiles and hugs and warm welcomes. As we sit for our potluck with our new family a seasoned member looks at me she smiles says congratulations an then dead in her look she is looking at me like a deer in headlights. She said you have something special you have a calling and you need to go after it run if you need to but you are special. I smiled at her looked over at Jenn who is just completely determined to spill my beans. An right then an there she says well you know Angela has recently told me that she wanted to go to seminary. At that moment the seasoned member says I Felt it in her as my hands were on her back I felt the release an looked over at another seasoned member an smiled and nodded as she nodded too. She told me my calling is to be in seminary an she could very well see me as a pastor. My heart an desire the moment that had happened my heart was lifted my soul filled and my body is complete. My girlfriend has opened 50 million doors for me to walk out of an into a new life. I thank God every moment I can for giving me Jenn she accepts everything about me with no regrets whatsoever. She is the reason I am who I am today because I have accepted God in my life and her and Zane are the best 2 people that God could have given me to live with. So there my big news all smiles.
