And my NEW baptism name is...

Sarah Faith Tan!!heh..yup i finally decided on 2 names..at first was undecided so wanted to put both but during today's service God confirmed my decision to put both down..haha..so let me relate my testimony=p

Have been searchg for a baptism name since i decided to go for water bap again..as usual my parents felt there was no need since my whole family was baptised wout a Christian name (even mi when i was young!)to them, it is of little significance..but i had this conviction tt a baptism name is supposed to b ur commitment to God..of wat kinda person u wanna b..

I was deciding btw a few lyk Shana, Gabrielle, Danielle, Isabelle..yest as i was searchg w my mum(who was on the other side of the phone n world) i dunno y but the name Sarah juz impressed upon my heart..i was resisting it cos 1 of my ex-neighbours who happened to b my gor's ex was called Sarah so din wanna b called the same name as sum1 i knew..but when yest was over, Isabelle seemed to b the best choice..cos i lyked the meaning ("God's promise") n my mum lyked the sound of it..She din lyk Faith cos she thot it's too blatant n a 1 syllabus word wasnt v nice-soundg..but i lyked it cos i wanted to b a 'woman of faith' esp since i felt tt God has given me the gift of faith (rem fr a conversation w Daryl)..but b4 i slpt, I prayed to God abt it..askg for a sign thru ppl or the service the nxt day to cfm the name..

haha..this morn aft tuition, I called my mum n she told me she thot abt it n felt Sarah was suitable..but still i had my doubts..then today's service was nowhere near Genesis nor was it a lesson on faith..n i was thinkg it's quite impossible to put faith n Sarah tog in 1 sermon or topic..in fact the theme: "God's Promise" kept caming up to mi..n i was thinkg to myself..Die..i dowan to b called Isabelle..how God??muz i really obey??But interestingly, during the sermon, we had to turn to Rom 3 to read a verse..n tt was when Rom 4 caught my eye..It was abt Faith of Abraham..haha..note the word FAITH!then i was thinkg to myself..yah..it seems lyk faith as also been comin up to me this whole service but will it juz b faith or sarah n faith?n i read Rom 4..but nowhere in the pg did Sarah come up..juz as i was 'losing hope' n thinkg mayb juz faith, Sarah was mentioned rt at the end of the passage on e nxt pg!haha..n seriously i was quite pleasantly surprised by this 'supernatural' confirmation=p

Yup so this whole episode juz goes to show how amazing God is in our lives n how serious it is to pray for cfmation!cos HE'll ans in the most unexpected ways!!=p

Anw..for those who wanna come give me support, I'll b water baptised at YMCA(opp Dhoby Ghaut, behind Park Mall) at 3pm on 29th Oct (Sun)..so do come down n witness my "Rebirth" k?!:)
