It wasn't until recently that I actually began to enjoy water. I mean I always enjoyed swimming in a pool and stuff, but I was terrified of jumping off of house boats. While being a Barney last summer I jumped off many house boats, and finally began to enjoy it. I was even baptized by jumping (or being dunked) into the Delta. I feel like being dunked is equivalent to being shocked, or reminded in a shocking way just how much we need Jesus, and being drenched is the second part of being baptized for you are then able to shake off the water (God's love) onto those around you.
Now I know how to react to being dunked, for it's happened a lot to me, but I don't tend to handle being drenched very well, I really do need to shake off His love onto those around me more than I am now. But hey, I'm a work in progress.
