The rivers of repentance and redemption part 2

And there i was back in my submerged catacomb when the fleeting memory of salvation jumped started my broken heart.

the rays of divine light pulled me towards them helpfully as I swam for my life. 

Waves of gratitude washed over me as my face emerged from the water gasping for breath. 

I gradually pulled my self out of the depths of my awakening river of Baptism onto the dry golden sand .

That is where I took my first steps along my road to redemption.
