Confirmation is one of the most meaningful and important events in one catholics life. For me it happened two years ago.
When i was Sec 2, still immature, still quite blur, I thought to myself what was all this about. Going to church, waking up early on a sleepy Sunday, was this part of my life, is this really what i wanted. I really wish someone could just come up to me to tell me something, something that God wants me to do. But no, no one came.
During the Sec 3 camp, it was my first mission trip to Philippines and also there was an outpouring during the camp. During my mission trip, I clearly remember being asked during a outpouring session, what gift from the holy spirit I wanted and I said the gift of tongues, at that point of time i didn't think why I wanted that.
Soon I was Sec 4 and about to confirm, waiting for my turn. Looking back i really didn't pray that much and wasn't that serious.
During my years in acts 29, he holy spirit guide me through all the trials that come my way. Often the devil tries to get his way, but I wouldn't. After the 3 years in acts 29, I can finally say i have a personal relationship with Jesus and the holy spirit. During times of setbacks and obstacles you can always rely on one another.
I just came back from this years confirmation mass. I felt really refresh from the mass, it felt like i was sitting on the pews waiting and I thought to myself " This is just only the beginning of a new journey". After being confirm, my relationship is strong but still have to keep building a much stronger relationship. I have finally done my duty as a
confirmant.
