Hey fabulous people!
I hope you week started off well. Mine sure did. On January 6, 2013 I got Baptized! Wow! It must have been one of the best decisions I've made so far in this life of mine! I know I probably got baptized when I was quite young. I'm sure I didn't know what it meant, so I'm glad I was able to make the decision on my own. I'm now consciously aware of what it means. I can't begin to tell you how awesome it feels, to know that I've fully handed my life to Christ. Not that I hadn't before, but getting baptized was the seal. My life has been signed, sealed and delivered to God! :)
Great things happened that day, things I didn't even plan for. The Holy Spirit does work in a sneaky way and I'm a living testimony of that. Let's just say God is great. I don't want to go into too much details, so I'll just let you check out my outfit (after getting baptized) on that day. Take a look:

When one gets baptized, you are to get under water. So, those who were getting baptized were advice to wear dark clothing, and something that wouldn't cling unto your body after you get out of the water. That day the look above was what I had already wore, but after my sister saw my outfit she suggested I wear sweats. LOL! Why Sis. Funmi?! :)
Well, the sweats weren't such a good idea, because it held a lot of water after getting out of the water. It's all good though, because I had my towel with me and I was able to change (again) to the outfit pictured above.
As you can see, I had no makeup on. I didn't even fill in my eyebrows! Wearing makeup was not even an option, because it would have smeared off since I would be all wet and stuff. The day before getting baptized, I took out my braids, because I wanted to be all 'natural.' I'm glad I went that route!
What I'm wearing:
Shirt: Thrifted
Pants: Thrifted
Bib necklace: Cut off from an old dress
Belt: eVanity
Glasses: America's Best (yes, they are prescription )
Shoes: Thrifted
Thanks for reading!
Have you been baptized? How did you feel when you were?
Take care! :)

ReplyDeleteThe outfit is so gorgeous on you, I love that necklace and to think it was a DIY from an old dress. It looks so expensive; I cannot wait to see how else you style it...:)
Thank you, Rally! You definitely should, as long as it's a personal choice. You won't regret it though!

ReplyDeleteI really love that bib necklace of yours. How clever to cut it off from an old dress and turn it into a necklace! We often forget that old clothes still have good things attatched to them that can be reused. :)
I make sure to get the most out of my clothes. I bought them, so why not? Haha
DeleteThanks for stopping by, Ali! :)
Wow big congrats
ReplyDeleteThank you MsJB :)

It sure is! Thank you for the prayer! Amen!
DeleteHaha. You should, I'm sure you'll find some fab things :)
congratulations on getting baptized.. Like you, I was baptized as a little baby so obviously was unaware of what was going on. I bet you feel all new! I should get myself baptised one of these days as well!
ReplyDeleteI do feel new and revived! You really should, when you feel ready. Thank you! :)
DeleteMay all that died with you remain dead. May all the blessing of God rise and be alive in you in 2013 in Jesus name. Amen. Congrats. But I must say I am confused. Are you Funmi...Or are you Seun? You both look alike? *confused Salt*. Anyway, what is important is that you totally stay dead to your past and alive to your future in Jesus Christ.
ReplyDeleteOmg! Thank you so much! I claim it. Amen and amen!!
DeleteHaha. No, this is Seun. Sis. Funmi is my elder sister :)
Congratulations on your baptism and your new walk with Christ! Much love and many blessings to you, darling =]
ReplyDeleteI got baptized when I was a young teen, but I've been thinking about doing it again as a re-dedication of my life to Christ. This is very inspiring to me.
And I love your look! The necklace is too cute and so creative!
Aww. Thanks so much. Getting baptized is taking a bold step, to secure your life in Christ. It's an awesome thing. I pray that, you're able to do so, soon! :)
Deletei love this red on you. it looks amazing!

Congrats love. I've actually taken baptismal class and exam but just never gotten around to do the water baptism. I will do it soon by God's grace.
