Turning Point

It was during a sermon that I found out that Esther Chow wanted to get baptized too. Coincidentally, we both were thinking about getting baptized since Easter. From then on, we began making plans together. We spoke with Tung and Julie, and they said that someone else wanted to get baptized too, but it would have to be in the Summer for her. We had a big debate about having it in the Summer or during the School year in November. If we had it in the Summer, the friends that she would like to have there would be there, but the friends I had would not. If we had it during the school year, then it would be the other way around.

We made our conclusions several times until the week of VBS. Then we made our FINAL decision to do it in the Summer.

During all the delema, I kinda felt as if I were getting baptized based on who was there and who wasn't. Everything went through my mind with "oh, but he's not coming!" or "oh, but she can't make it!" I would very much like these people to come, but if most of the people can come on both dates, and only one person is missing in the summer, then why bother to change the whole thing to a later time? Why do things have to be so difficult and stressful?

Why am I getting baptized? A lot of people give excuses like, "I'm not ready to get baptized." But from what I've learned, you're supposed to get baptized when you become a Christian. As for me, I don't even remember when I became a Christian. Even though I may not remember, I feel like I've been given the call to get baptized. It has been on my mind for a long time already, so why not just go for it?

I'm excited for the day to come, but I still need to set some goals for this "new life" of mine. I don't know if I've really given a lot of thought to "commiting" my life to God. Taking the narrow road towards success.
