Starting fresh. Jana Kramer gave fans a glimpse of her baptism journey nearly one year after her split from Mike Caussin.
“This is my battle cry,” she wrote via Instagram on Sunday, January 23, alongside a series of photos from the event. “This is the day I stopped walking alone. The beauty is … I was never alone. He was always walking with me … I just didn’t think I deserved that. If I’m honest I didn’t know how to trust it or if I could trust it at all. Looking up to a ‘father figure’ with my past was hard to believe or have comfort in. I didn’t think he would stay. That he wouldn’t hurt me. So I pushed God away for years.”
The One Tree Hill alum, 38, noted that her perspective changed after navigating her new normal in the wake of her April 2021 split from the former NFL player, 34, with whom she shares daughter Jolie, 5, and Jace, 3.
“But last year in the brokenness and quite [sic] moments alone, I realized I wasn’t truly alone. That HE was there. That HE never left,” she continued. “God was just waiting for me to come to him. And I have … and today I made my faith public and it feels really good to know no matter what happens next on this journey of life, HE is next to me walking with me. … I hope this encourages someone to take that next step because you aren’t alone … ‘In the name of Jesus there is healing.'”
Kramer’s emotional post included photos of her sitting in a wooden water basin with tears in her eyes as she prepared to take the plunge. In another picture, she stood surrounded by friends with a sign that read, “I got baptized today!”
Earlier on Sunday, she shared a video of herself walking into the room before the big moment, which she captioned, “I don’t have the words yet … I will … but for now.”
