Everyone has a moment in their life they are the most proud of. My moment would have to be my baptism. I took a leap out of my comfort zone and and got baptized for my faith in God.
I attend a very large, well-known church. And I waited for the senior pastor to be baptizing church members before I made my choice.
With baptisms in my church, they are broadcast on national TV due to the popularity of my church. I prayed before I went down that I wouldn't fall into the pool or slip, or drown. Just a precaution for me. LOL.....Luckily none of that happened. I came out just fine and very proud of myself.
There were some friends from my life group and among the congregation that knew me, but there was no one who sat with me and waited for me to get done. However, a very sweet friend from my group came up when she saw me up there and greeted me when I was done. That made me feel special.
So that ladies and gents, was my proudest moment. I wouldn't change that decision for anything.

Life Lessons
Sorry everyone! I have had a few rough and busy days and haven't made the time to post.
I did learn a very valuable life lesson this weekend though. For those of you who do not know, I am a Christian. In fact, that may be something I mentioned earlier, if not, now you know.
I met up with a former friend over the weekend and learned that some doors that God closes are better off to stay closed.
We have people that are put in our lives to be a lesson. This former friend was that lesson. I tried my damnedest to seek out a friendship again with this person because I felt like it was right....wrong.
God had only placed him in my life for a season and for a reason....to learn a lesson. That door was closed and and I made the mistake of opening that closed door and letting in a lot of pain.
So, folks...here's the lesson I learned....when God shuts a door in your life, don't try to open it again. It's closed for a reason and let it be. I dead bolted that door back and chained it shut.
This person was harmful to my well being and that was the reason why I was not supposed to have him in my life anymore. However, I wanted the closure I so desperately sought for months. Well, I got it. Though, not in the way I wanted. But, now I know it's time to move on.
