My biggest NSV!

Baptism!  So while I have had many NSV's since surgery this is my far my best!  Today in front of my family and church family I announced my faith and love for Jesus in a believers full submersion baptism.  I could not imagine having done this when I was 250 pounds.  The thought of being in front of the whole congregation soaking wet with clothes clinging freaked me out 73 pounds ago.  Today I was at peace and truly in the moment as my daughter and I took part in this amazingly moving experience. 

Anyway without getting too churchy I really felt compelled and inspired to share a unique NSV with my OH family.

Blessings to all!

Congratulations on your baptism.  What a special event, and it is wonderful that you were comfortable with yourself for this important occasion.  I am so happy for you.  I hope your faith will be a guide to a life full of love and compassion, as it has for me.

blessings,

Carol
