MY JOURNEY ..... YOUR STORY

introduced to Christ when i started school - St Anthony's Convent. we had morning prayers and hymns together with national anthem and school song. we had mass in the chapel and for some of us it was a break away from lessons, a time to rest our eyes, a time to do nothing. for me it was a break and sometimes a short nap. :)

all i remembered was that i could ask for anything from heaven by going through Mother Mary. i believed because everytime i lose something, i'll pray and i'll find it. it was a process that always worked. childlike faith? i guess so. there were no doubts then. i just believed. now that i think back, i didn't pray through Mary, i just asked to be led to where my lost items were and waited for signs. sadly, there was also no deep or sincere gratitude. just a simple "thank you" after that.

this went on all through my school days. however, somewhere along the way, i forgot about the asking for assistance or directions. i made things happen on my own and depended on my own strength.

sometime after seconday school, a friend brought me a to a Christian service...CULTURE SHOCK! where were the books? where was the process? where were the instructions? there was nothing for me to follow! i didn't know when to kneel or when to stand or what to say. however, i enjoyed the service. lost contact with my friend soon after and didn't step into a church after that until some years later for my sister's baptism. started going on and off with my family as shortly after that, my parents and sisters got saved and baptised but not me.

...the story continues in "my journey".

i have been wondering...lately - what is it about Christianity that is so different? what is it that makes it so real to the believers? am i gullible to just believe?

i'm going to School of Theology and objections and questions are thrown at me. what are you going to do after that? is it going to help you move up the ladder? how are you going to survive with no income for 6 months? why not just stay where you are and be comfortable?

i'm not answering all these queries. i don't want to be comfortable. i want to be useful. i want to make a difference. i'm just going to read and draw strength from His word. i want to know more of Him and to do more of what He has in store for me. Christianity is not a religion. it is a relationship. a relationship with someone who is above all else. it is difficult to understand but that's how it is. need to experience His presence to know that it's real. need to experience His provision to know that it's real. need to experience His love to know that it's real. spooky? no ... just simple, warm, comfortable and unconditional love. Christianity is a personal relationship.

i want to learn all that i need to learn to reach my destiny and grow my capacity to receive so that i can give. i can choose not to follow but i am not choosing that because He has given and He has loved. should i not do the same?

SOT may not help me to climb up the ladder professionally but it will help me climb up the ladder spiritually. i want to be the church that grows. i want to be a thoroughly trained disciple and share the joy of the love i have received. i do my part and i know He will do His.

i will not lack.
