    And had my first communion!

    "Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; for he who has died is freed from sin."

    -Romans 6:3-7

    Ha, how funny that I can look back on this almost a year later, as I prepare for confirmation.

    Please God!

    My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up. Psalm 5

    Keep praying, for I'm certain we're all praying for you as well. The benefits and graces from baptism will continue to enrich your life.
