Still awake. Britney Spear’s song is playing on the background (radio). (Sometimes I run, sometimes I hide, sometimes I’m scared of you, But all I really want is to hold you tight, treat you right, Be w/ you day & night) Now it’s the song that goes (My friend’s got a girlfriend, & he hates that…) I like both songs. Life is good, very good. I got water baptised just this Saturday. Me, my sisters, Hannah, Tiffany, Candy, Michelle, and Ronald. I’m really happy. I followed God’s command.

I find it hilarious that I wrote about Britney Spears and water baptism in the same paragraph, but I also love it. Christian-ese made its way into my general vocabulary. We should do that more often. Talk about God and other stuff in the same breath, because God shouldn’t just be confined to just Sundays.

And now I know that I was water baptized on May 29, 1999. I was 14 years old.
