I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful Sunday evening. The sun overlooking the bay and a killer poolside view ready for new believers to represent a brand new journey to their faith. I felt so at peace and even though I didn't know 90% of the people, it was such a humbling experience to witness and hear people's stories of how their lives changed for the better. How awesome!
I've have met some amazing ladies and friends here in Tampa through church. Alot of us just met all at the same time and in the same point in our lives. One of the girls is a new Christian and I got the chance to watch her baptism on Sunday. I really don't know her like I know alot of my closer friends back home, but its such an amazing thing to share with somebody. When she dropped me off after it was over, she was so greatful that some of us came to watch her. I said "Ya know, this may sound so corny but I feel so honored to have shared that with you. And, sometimes when I think about heaven I remember moments like this when you meet people throughout your life and then later when we all get to heaven we can rejoice those moments." Yes, I just went on my butterflies and rainbows spill but I can't help but to smile at those great moments we have with the people that come into our lives. I'm so blessed that I'm here in Tampa. Every day just keeps getting better and better ♥
You have heard the phrase, "friends forever", these will be friends for eternity! What an amazing thought. God has placed you in Tampa for a reason. Stay in tune and His plan will be fulfilled.
