Baptism

I'm getting baptized this summer (I'm in Catechism right now). I was hoping for something über challenging and this... wasn't. All of it was like, "Yeah, I know that...tried that... yup. Deja-vu."
But I think that it did help me grow a little bit (I got to know some other people and practiced patience). So, yeah.
I could use some:
1. Prayer- This is a very important time in my life. I am "officially" part of
the church after this. This is the public declaration of my Faith. I also am
overloaded with busywork types of things, which is cramping my time.
2.Praise- I'm still growing, and I'm getting baptized!

Congratulations Its an important step in your spiritual growth. If you arent being challenged in your walk then that means that God wants you to be still and wait on him. Perhapse this is a test of your patients. You will be in my prayers.

Well, I didn't say that my faith wasn't being challenged (it is, believe me), just that Catechism wasn't as earthshattering as I had hoped. But patience is always something I can work on...

One thing that I've come to realize in learning about theology and Christianity in general, is that there aren't a lot of surprises. Most of the stuff resonates within our souls because our hearts desire God. Most truths of the Faith are not that shocking once you sit down and think about it and compare it to what's in your heart.

Well, I wasn't necessarily hoping for something shocking, maybe just something to send me into exponential growth or something...
