Yes, everything and everyone has a beginning. Well, everyone except for God at least. I remember when I got baptized. Everything leading up to that seemed dreadful. It was constantly on my mind. When the pastor would have an altar call, my heart would begin beating at 1,572, 293, 928, 832 bpm. What I was most afraid of, was getting in front of all those people in church. That was the real dilemma. I decided to talk to the pastor. I told him I would like to get baptized along with the other people who made that decision. We had a long talk. He made sure I 'knew what I was getting myself into.' I'm happy to say I did.
The following Sunday, I prayed in front of the entire church (yeah, it was a bit scary). After that, I was pretty much set. The day of the baptism came fast. Leading up to it, I felt a mixture of anxiety, and eagerness. When I finally entered those waters however, I knew that my life would never be the same.
