While I’ve always believed in Jesus and asked him to come into my heart when I was very young, I have never been baptized. I’ve recently been working on being closer in my personal relationship with God, and I know I need to be baptized. The only thing holding me back is my fear of going under water…

How I did it: I was sick of being hurt by guys, so one late night, I prayed to God telling him that I gave my future up to Him. I told him that I was done getting hurt, that I was going to focus on Him and trust Him to lead me to The One. Then, a few months later, I got a text in the middle of the night from a guy friend saying that he had feelings for me. I had feelings for him, but was repressing them because I wanted to make sure I let God take cont… Read how I did it…
I feel like this is going to be a never-ending goal, one that will need to be worked on for my whole life. I have a hard time letting go of things that I can’t change, being a perfectionist and someone who wants to fix everyone’s problems. I think my life would be much easier if I could let other’s problems be their problems, but I always want to help, and I have trouble just letting them be.
I really should work on this. I’m always so focused on the “what if”s in my life instead of what I have at present. I have so many things in life to be grateful and happy about, yet I seem to pay more attention to the things that aren’t so good that I can’t change (such as liking someone, and not knowing if it’ll work out, getting a job, getting my license, my sister). And I think I’d be more happier if I just let go of the little things that bother me, and focus on what makes me happy instead.
