(continued)
I felt so left out when I joined and when I joined people kept nagging me about when I was going to get baptized. So I just thought well hey I might as well just do it as long as they leave me alone about it. So I was baptized just so people would be quiet about all of it. I didn't think then that it was a big deal or anything. (shows how much I know huh?) Well Centri-Break changed my whole perspective on getting saved and being baptized. I now understand that I was saved because I know he is my lord and savior. He gave his son for me among everyone else. I will now give anything I have to him or give it all up for him. He will provide everything I need as long as I have faith in his word and in him. I have had so many different kinds of influences on my life it's not even funny. Some have been bad and some have been good. I am now learning that I don't have to say yes to everything and I know to say no when I feel I need to. Every time I do something wrong or hurt one of my brothers or sisters it hurts me. (more)
