❝ One of Satan’s activities is to be the accuser of the brethren (Rev. 12:10). He does this unceasingly—day and night. Of what does he accuse us? Of sins we commit. And, of course, he has an airtight case, for believers do sin, and any sin could undo our salvation. However, our Lord, our Advocate, defends us on the sole basis that all our sins were paid for by His death (1 John 2:1, 2). Some, probably unconsciously, make a distinction between sins that could undo our salvation and those that would not do so—“little” sins. But any sin is enough to cause us to lose our salvation were it not for the constant intercession of our Lord that thwarts the constant accusations of our adversary, Satan. ❞

Death has been beaten! The grave has been conquered! Jesus is risen!
So I got baptized for the first time today :)

I went to this service called Fusion for the second time with the best group of friends I could ask for. And the series is going back to the basics of christianity. The pastor was talking about repentance the past two weeks, and today he talked about baptism. And seriously last night and for the past week I’ve been thinking about wanting to be baptized, but I didn’t know what to do. And the pastor goes so what if hypothetically, philosophically, there is a tank of water sitting outside. And he asked how many people would get baptized right now. What better time than right now? And he goes wellll, let’s go because there is a tank outside waiting. And the line went on for so long. So many amazing, beautiful people became new tonight. So many people getting baptized again because this time it felt right. It was so overwhelming. Me and three of my beautiful friends got baptized tonight. All three of them doing it not for the first time and still being just so overwhelming, it was so amazing. God is so good!!!!!! 

Recapping the year:)
