大家好，我是子咪，是三重小組的一員，來到同光教會大概半年的時間。大概在十年前，帶著我們樂團的老師那時候在赤峰街的長老教會，那時候我們常被叫去帶青少年團契，教他們寫作業，煮飯給他們吃，那時候對教會的感覺就是很溫馨，很像家的感覺，但後來因為工作比較忙漸漸離開教會的生活。有一次，很久沒回去教會，那裡有一個很慈祥的牧者，我們都叫他校長，他就對我說：這個迷途的小羊去哪裡了呢？那時候的我聽不懂，原來慈愛的天父一直在等著我回家。
一直到去年，我的人生出現了很震盪的變化，我犯了錯，一個沒有辦法原諒自己的錯誤，我好自責，我覺得快要沒有辦法呼吸。在我非常低潮絕望的時候，上帝透過聖靈的顯現，叫醒了我讓我看到希望，叫我不要再打結不要再往回看了。原來，慈愛的天父一直在我的身邊看顧著我，我不是一個人。祂教會我放下跟原諒，讓我學會如何去愛人跟愛自己，不要再讓罪與自責捆綁自己，使我重生得救。
感謝天父感謝耶穌，我決定要受洗，可以和神有一個永遠的約定，成為神的女兒，我相信接下來人生會有很美很有盼望的未來，不孤單有陪伴，感謝主！也謝謝同光的家人，還有今天來參與我受洗的親友家人，我想說，不管是什麼樣性別的愛戀，談的都是一樣的愛情，你我沒有不同。我愛我的家人，我愛我的女友，我也愛不能接受同性戀的朋友。因為神愛世人，愛人如愛己，感謝主！
Hello everyone, I’m Hsiao Mi from Sanchong small group, and I’ve been in Tong Kwang church for about half a year. About 10 years ago, a teacher who led our music group was from a Presbyterian church at Chi Feng street, and we were often asked to go lead the youth group, help them with assignments and cook for them. At that time I the church gave me a warm and homely feel. However as work got busier, I gradually left the church and the teacher said to me “where did the lost sheep go?”. At that time I did not understand that my benevolent heavenly Father was waiting for me to return home.
Up till last year, my life had a huge change. I made a mistake so serious that I was not able to forgive myself. I kept blaming myself and felt that I was almost unable to breathe. When I was feeling depressed and gave up home, God in the form of the Holy Spirit appeared and helped me to see hope. He told me not to remain entangled in my past. I realized that my benevolent heavenly Father has always been looking after me, and that I am not alone. He taught me how to let go and forgive, how to love others and myself, and not to be bound by sin and self-blame. This saved and freed me.
Thank you heavenly Father and Jesus for my decision to be baptized, and I can have an eternal promise with God to be His daughter. I believe that my life from now on will be beautiful, full of hope and not lonely as He is always with me. Praise the Lord! I would also like to thank my Tong Kwang family, friends and family members for gracing this occasion today. I wish to say that in a relationship, no matter which genders are involved, they are still sharing the same love. We are no different. I love my family, I love my girlfriend, and I also love those who are unable to accept homosexuality. This is because God loves the world and I love others as myself. Praise the Lord!
