Hello, I started to believe in God and in Jesus back in December. And I was baptized this past Sunday. It was supposed to be a joyous occassion (and it was). From the moment leading up to it, I felt a burden that was finally lifted onced the ceremony was complete and I gave my testimony.
Basically, I feel a new burden put upon me with this baptism. This week after, I'm just not sure how to feel right now.
My job has been quite stressful. It's a sales job and most of the people in my sales group are older than me (I'm the youngest). Although that can say alot about my capabilities, I feel that a lot of stress is being put on my shoulders. Perhaps because I only graduated college last year and have been thrust into a high-tension career path ... not having much general life experience. Sometimes, I feel lacking in motivation as well as my own abilities (I've become a cynical person really)
I hope that you will pray for me to trust in God more and that he will lead me in the right direction. I feel ashamed at times, which leads me to withdraw into my shell and ward my brothers and sisters away (I already have a hard time opening up to them as friends even).
Thank you.
