Well-known actress and country singer Jana Kramer says she's found healing "in the name of Jesus," sharing a video of her baptism with her 2 million Instagram followers on Sunday.
"This is my battle cry," says Kramer on an Instagram post the day of her baptism. "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."
She is known for her role as Alex Dupre on the television series One Tree Hill that aired from 2003 until 2006. In 2012, the actress changed careers and started her life as a country singer. Since then, she has released two albums.
"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. But last year in the brokenness and quiet moments alone, I realized I wasn’t truly alone."
During her baptism video, Kramer kisses her daughter before entering the water tank. She wore a shirt that says Anything's Possible.
"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."
The singer's family was there to support Kramer's decision of faith, as seen in the photo she posted. She got baptized at Crosspoint Church in Franklin, Tenn. on Sunday.
