Angela Thomas

On Tuesday, July 28th, I went with a bunch of ladies from AMRBC to see Angela Thomas in Greer. We met at Copper River Restaurant and had dinner first. Then we went over to the church.

Me, Denise, Jennifer & Kathi...We were waiting for Angela to come out and talk to us...


She was very funny...She's told us about her life being a single Mom and then getting married to her high school sweetheart...She also told us that we need to trade our ashes (bitterness) in for crown of beauty so we can show the Glory of God to those around us...

Baptism...

On Sunday, July 26th, I was baptized in a believer's Baptism at Anderson Mill Road Baptist Church...




It was awesome!! I was a nervous wreck though..there are A LOT of people that attend AMRBC...but being that it was summer, there were a lot of people out on vacations too...lol..

I believe that God sent me to AMRBC but the pastor, DJ Horton has helped to keep me there. He is an awesome Pastor...
I also owe a lot to my son, Zack. He is such a blessing to me! He was pushing for us to go to church about 2 1/2 yrs ago...He jumped in with both feet...He was saved 2 years ago at camp, Baptized a few months later, he sings in the youth choir, plays sax in the praise band, and loves to worship the Lord.
I know that it is suppose to be the other way around, where the parent is suppose to inspire the child spiritually but I didn't grow up in a church family myself and I do not have the knowledge that I should have about God's Word. I have been however learning as much as possible in the past 2 years. I enjoy going to bible studies, going to church and reading the bible.....My next step is to join a Sunday School Class and start serving where ever I am needed...
