Last Wednesday, I got baptized.

This was my second baptism, but my first Biblical one. I was baptized as an infant by my parents as a symbol of their promise to raise me in the Christian faith. It had always been my intention to get baptized as an adult when the decision was mine to make. So while my original intentions were to be baptized when I was 20, the fact that my dad was out of the country pushed that back until last week.

I guess it's really hard to explain the feeling that baptism brings. It was definitely an emotional and a spiritual experience. It's one of those things you don't really know is missing until you have it.

I think that's all I want to say about that for now.

On a completely different subject, I've decided to take up a letter writing project. I'm going to write individual letters to my close friends and family. The purpose of these letters is for me to be completely open with them about our relationship. I'm going to work on really letting everyone know how I feel about them while highlighting the strong parts of our relationship and the parts that need improvement.

I feel that, sometimes, I don't adequately express the way I feel about the people in my life and I'm hoping this will help that. I'm expecting that these letters will be heartfelt and very honest. They're going to be meant to tear down some walls and lay some new foundations.

I'm sure this is going to be an undertaking that will take some time, but I definitely think it's worth it. So if you're one of my close friends or family, expect to receive a letter in the near future. And by letter, this does mean I will be using the postal service.
