Why were you inspired to do this?

I had always been afraid of going under water. This started at age 6 when my friend, Rachel almost drowned while we were on a kindgergarten field trip at a swimming. Since then, I had avoided baptism based on my terror. I also avoided swimming, so I don't know how to swim either.

What were 3 things you did to make this happen?

I only wanted to be baptized at Apostolic Faith Tabernacle in Cleveland, Ohio because it was the only church that I've ever chosen by myself. I did it spontaneously because I was only able to go there once during my three weeks visiting Cleveland and December 13th was the only day.

I didn't want fear to affect my relationship with GOD and knew that I had to overcome at least one of my fears. I forced myself to walk into the pool.

I wanted to cross off a goal on my life list.

How did you feel once you had accomplished this?

I felt very relieved that it was over and very proud that I faced my fears.
