Hello all!
Oh my goodness what an amazing day today was. Words can’t describe how amazing today was for me. Today was the day that it happened.
Now obviously you all are wondering what in the world I’m talking about. But before I explain it, let’s go back to my last blog post where I talked about conviction vs shame. I talked about how a sermon that was given on this topic. I mentioned that this sermon impacted me a lot. But what I didn’t mention was that this sermon changed my life. It made me realize how lost I was in my faith and how far I was from God. I was pondering these things all day. But that night is when everything changed. I made the decision to stand against the enemy and take back Christ as my lord and savior. I sat down, confessed my sins to God, and repented, all while sobbing uncontrollably. I was finally free. I no longer felt the enemy keeping me from God; I was was with God, and never felt happier. A significant weight had been lifted off my shoulders.
Wanting to solidify this repentance I chose to be baptized today at a state park we were going to for the day, and it was incredible. I was overwhelmed by the love my squad had for me and God’s presence. Everything was perfect.
I’m feeling so amazing right now and can’t believe I’m only one week into these nine months and my life has already been changed. I absolutely cannot wait for what lies ahead.

YES YES YES! You sir are definitely free in Him. Shut the mouth of the enemy and rest in what He says. You’re His son and heir. You are royalty and a soldier. You are called and chosen for a time such as this. I pray this journey continues to set you free, emboldens your spirit, and allows you to walk with Him deeper in understanding and truth. Truly wish I could of been there for your baptism.
CALEB YAY!!!!!!!! This was the very best day so far for me too, I’m honored that the Lord brought me here to stand alongside you in prayer and in CELEBRATION for what He is doing in you! Your faith & boldness was a huge encouragement for myself & the squad as a whole and reminded us all that the Lord is working even when it feels like we aren’t doing ministry or anything “big” for the kingdom right now!!!! PRAISE GOD!!!!!
Caleb, I got to catch just a glimpse of your baptism in a quick video segment – enough to see the sheer joy on your face and the celebration your squad had for you! What a special day – one you will remember the rest of your life. Oh, the abundant blessings God has in store for you the next nine months! Can’t wait to hear the stories!
