just now was my last class as catechumen, i was really shocked, REALLY surprised to hear my name and to receive the gift which they had prepared for me, though i was absent from the retreat.. i know the attendees had a towel each, cos Father Yim washed their feet for them.. but i.. i was not even there.. they actually had my smiling picture on a big envelope for me! it's just so nice!!
blessed, i came home.. actually cant wait to look what's inside the envelope.. i know it'll make me cry, but i didn't know it will touch me so deeply!!.. Encouragements from my god-parents, from my sponsors and even a fellow catechumen from another group.. what made my tears really flow is the letter from my lead sponsor..
i didn't know my sharing can change someone.. i can only thank God for His teachings and guidance thru my pit, and Pastor Kong for instilling Bible knowledge into me.. (frankly, i'm not a very faithful Bible study person for the past 13yrs) all i know about the Bible are all from Pastor's teachings during service.. i never expect these 'limited' knowledge to impact someone..
all those letters really touch my heart so deep.. i never expect myself to be able to make such difference, esp i was struggling with depression from start of this journey.. i always thought my depression has withdrawn me from communicating with people, cos i'd rather be alone n be quiet.. i never expect God to be working in n thru me this way.. God did it again - He really works in ways i cannot comprehend. His ways are higher than my ways..
.. .. .. i thank all of them in CTK RCIA, from the core team to my fellow catechumens.. since day1, the core team has been sensitive to my condition and didn't mind my 'busybody' presence when they planned the RCIA process (i dun wan to be alone at home in my depression, so i hang ard with them, treating them as cellgroup, after Mass) they made me feel so welcomed.. integrated me into this totally foreign church. they saw and helped me through my depression, and fed me spiritually with their discussions...
daddy, if u r reading now, i really want to thank you.. thank you for everything you've done for me, from inquirer to catechumen, from depression to recovery.. despite your busy schedule, you are always there for me, reading my blog to check on my progress .. i still remember i was so scared when i msn u in my office if you could be my godfather, and i was so happy when you said yes. i was so happy that i sms bosco and his mum to share this good news (cant believe i did that)! i really thank you and love you, Vincent.. Thank you for everything~ Thank you for your love.
