God’s timing can be tough to wrap our minds around. 

Sometimes we see Him move quickly with clear results. 

Other times it’s small nudges over a period of time. 

This is true of a young man I’ve had the opportunity to get to know over the past few months, 

who made a decision to get baptized atcamp a few weeks ago.

I first met Nick a few months ago. 

He was new to East Noble and a friend invited him to come on our spring break trip. 

On the trip, Nick made some important decisions in regards to his relationship with God. 

I saw a change in Nic. He was all in. As soon as he heard about camp, 

he wanted to go and was one of the first to sign up.

Fast forward to camp. Nick opens up more about some of the pain he has 

experienced in life and how he wants to grow closer to God and make him a 

bigger part of his life. 

God had been slowly nudging Nick for a long time and I could see that he was 

beginning to feel the weight of that.

On the last day, after a lot of thought, Nick asked me to baptize him. 

A few hours later he was in a pool on the Chesapeake Bay, 

surrounded by friends and leaders who loved him and were excited for him. 

He confessed Jesus as his Lord and Saviour and was born again. 

God’s timing for Nick was beautiful and a testament to his faithfulness.
