Okay this is another lag post.
Confirmation
I felt a sense of overwhelming happiness when I was confirmed. Don't ask me where that came from. And I also felt this resolve to do something to contribute to the church. Yes, so I've decided that I want to be a catechist.
I think for me, confirmation was a very beautiful experience. It was the friendship that I experienced. I mean. Legion came to support, classmates came to congratulate us... There were many whom I didn't expect to come, but came. Thanks guys. Even after the confirmation, everyone (the confirmants) wanted to take photos of each other. The corridor outside the classrooms became a makeshift marketplace, with everyone screaming at the top of their heads. For which I had no idea why. But I participated. Well, it did liven up the atmostphere.
After confirmation, went with my family, and the legion to pizza hut at bukit timah plaza. Lucky I booked, otherwise there wouldn't have been space for the 30 of us. And throughout the dinner, I was laming. And once we laughed so loud the pizza hut waiter asked us to lower our volume. And we over-ordered. Our estimation was not too accurate. So we ate till we felt like even air couldn't enter our body anymore. Okay maybe thats exaggeration, but you get the point...
Well, this is the day that I'll always remember... So many wonderful things happened that I could do microwriting of every incident, and it'll take a few days to complete. and I don't have that time. so I'll just suffice with this very brief account of the day.
One week after confirmation, I feel that the holy spirit works wonders. It does not come in a very flashy, or noticeable, or obvious form, but instead it comes as a subconsious guide. For me, it helps me to make the right decisions, I believe, and I would not realise that until only after the decision making process. Well that said, lets not take the holy spirit for granted, but make a conscious effort to keep it in our lives.
