Baptized
When I was at camp, it rained one day. I had to go to the cabins for some reason, so I walked down the path in the rain, but I didn't sprint to avoid getting wet. I walked slowly, with my eyes closed.
In that rain I baptized myself.
It was not official, it didn't go by any of the rules I'd heard before. But I do believe God accepted that as a baptism.
In the rain silently I professed to God that I believe in the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, that He sent His son to die for my sins and that He rose again and is now living with the Father.
It didn't change my life the instant I said that. But ever since I got back from camp, I feel closer to God than ever.
It's amazing.
