finally not sad

I am ecstatic today. I cannot wait until I am baptized. I think I will feel so much closer personally and spiritually to God and that is something I definitely need. Lately, in preparation I guess, I have been considerably trying to harmonize my life according to God’s ways and commandments for my life. Being baptized is like recommitting my life to Christ Jesus and that means I need to make some changes in my life so I can be more like Him. Like my friend Faith told me a few weeks ago, being baptized is my public profession of my interminable love, faith, and belief for Jesus and it says I follow Him alone. I do not want to begin generating life changes proceeding my baptism, so I am starting now. If I start afterwards I am not sure if I will completely follow through or if all the changes will stick with me because so many things will also be changing and too much change at once will bombard me. In that situation, I am likely to forget the new changes and relapse back into the old. What would be the point in starting to change my ways in the first place?
