A New Beginning

Those of you who know I got baptised on Sunday will not know yet how it was, I remember my brothers word when I asked him how he felt when he got baptised, being a man of very few words but words of which are well thought out he only said 'it felt right' and I think I will have to follow this trait and explain it with the same words. Ever since Sunday I feel completely changed, not neccesarily in a radical way but in a way that tells me imp on my way to being who god want's me to be, since Sunday the only way I can describe it is that it was a new awakening within me.

I feel like if anyone were to ask me about my beliefs I would be a lot more open then I have been, one significant step in my life this year was that I started to not be afraid of talking about my faith, before Sunday I still would have slightly hesitated and thought a bit about my wording to not come off as one of those typical 'bible bashing preachers' as some may call us however right now I feel as though I would actually be proud in a way to talk about it, keen or hyped to talk.

I know these are all steps in my relationship with god but as my brother wisely pointed out it is persevering in these moments which is the real test, making sure our determination continues throughout our life sometimes in moments like on Sunday I can feel the.... ambition and inspiration in my eye's I can sense that I am determined thoroughly to spread the gospel. my spectrum of Christian friends continues to grow and I am continually challenged with which of my current friends I should possibly let go of but then it hit me, Jesus dwelled with sinners and tax payers and Pharisee’s for one purpose alone, to spread the gospel and share enlightenment, why should we not do the same? I understand the danger of getting too acquainted with aggressive and bitter person's and I now know that I need to keep a healthy tab on that balance between my Christian friends and my un-believing friends, in saying this I can assure you all that that balance is only ever improving.

in a sense I do feel different since Sunday but one thing I need to focus on most of all is not being a 'Sunday Christian' because that will create doubt in my faith as well as sloth (laziness).

there really isn't much else to say really apart from feeling like my heart is getting closer and closer to him everyday/week.

god be with you all and guide you towards him.
