On my journey of learning to trust my heart, I have come to an interesting conclusion that it makes it a lot easier if I do not feel the need to pressure myself into making the right decision; that maybe I could take the leap and risk making a huge mistake. That might be okay-- sort of equivalent to letting my room get a little messy. Allowing myself to loosen this clenched fist on the mask of perfection I feel the need to wear for some sort of security.

"Christianity is about water... Most of what we do in worldly life is geared toward our staying dry, looking good, not going under. But in Baptism, in lakes and rain and tanks and fonts, you agree to do something that's a little sloppy because at the same time it's also holy and deserved. It's about surrender, giving in to all those thing we can't control: it's a willingness to let go of balance and decorum and get drenched." -- Ann Lamott
