I posted this on MJJf aswell, I wanted to share with you all my experiences and why I decided to do it, after my baptism I felt like a brand new person and I'm so glad that I made the lord happy with my decision. He's the one and only and he's the way out to an everlasting new life.
here it is:
For awhile I have been debating weather or not to get baptized and I finally came to my decsion because of all the non-sense that I had to deal with in people and issues I had in my life, I said to myself 'Since I am a believer in Jesus Christ and in order for me to be happy, I would feel much completed if I just give my life to him' I can't begin to tell you all the wondeful blessing that he has sent/showered upon me and for that I'm forever thankful and grateful to him. But I want to tell you all the main reason as to why I decided this, as I said in the begining I have been dealing with some issues mainly from people who I onced, loved cared for and trusted some of these people I thought were friends but when there were "problems" that got in the way I found out that they wer'nt who they say or thought they were and for a long time I have been angered and irritated by that, I don't like constant liars, phonies, suck-ups etc...it really agitates me a great deal. I found out that a lot of people like to set me off that way, needless to say I did get angry, I did use volgur language, I was to the point where I wanted to literally beat some asses bad, but I had to calm myself down and just tell myself that it's not worth it. Forgiving them was hard, I would hold grudges for the longest time I just would'nt not have ANYTHING to do with those people I was Hurt and I don't think they understood. So by me turning to christ I learned to forgive those and leave them in his hands because I know that he would deal with them, I had to learn to control my temper and not let everything get to me, which I have been lately, I had to learn how to be patient, to have good self-esteem about myself, be more forgiving, to believe and have faith. Life is an experiance, a journey aswell as a test there are days when I fail and there are days when I succeed and I know if I did'nt go through with what I went through or deal with what I delt with, I could'nt have become a much better person that I want to be. I take time out to focus on what I've done in life and learn from it. Many times I try to ignore the issues, by doing that the situations got worse and with me getting baptized I'm washing away my sins and starting over. I thanked the lord for everything that he has done and will continue to do. I'm blessed.
P.s. there's much more too my story but I decided to keep it short, sweet and simple.
God Bless~
