Wants baptism desperately

Hi Everyone

After a long and painful experience last year I had a calling to follow Christ, I love him more than ever.

It's a long story and one that I'll tell one day as my testimony but I have changed as a person because of it. It's as if I see with new eyes, I am so happy that I no longer fear but feel peace, love and calm.

I was born into a penticostal church in the UK. I left when I was 12, and now I have returned. I am 35 yers old. When I was 12 I felt the pressure of becoming baptised......I left because I didn't feel ready. Its a long story! Now however I want it now than ever! I feel so born again I cry because I want to be baptised but I can't for good reason. I am living with my Fiancé who I have been with for 8 years and plan to marry next year (we've set a date). I understood the reasons why I can't be baptised I really agree be unless I'm prepared to change my living conditions etc I can't be baptised.

I want to know if anyone has been through this themselves? I pray for forgiveness. I have repented and still do everyday. I love the Lord with my heart for dying for me and for others. The world makes me cry so much, unless I stay in my bedroom all day and read the bible there isn't one thing that doesn't deceive us, music, fashion, culture, everything is just awful.

Any advice would be welcomed. Thank you and God Bless you all XX
