April 9, 2014: River Jordan

While I was in Israel I was able to go and see the River Jordan.  Now, I don't know about you but I always pictured this massive, flowing river.  I have to tip my hat because the tour guides did warn us.  It isn't this huge river.  As you can see from the picture, this is true.

However, even though the river wasn't huge it comes with lots of historical importance.  This is where John baptised Jesus.  WOW!!  Jesus was in these waters!!

When we were here we able to choose to either be baptised...or re-baptised.  Or we could get sprinkled with water and it be more of a renewal of our baptism.  I decided to have just the sprinkling as I have already been baptised.  For me, this is one of my favourite moments.  I felt so connected.  I felt so free.  I felt so redeemed.
