Catholic Renewal Seminar

Dearest Momma, sorry for not replying your message.

So here's how the seminar went. I must admit that I was not really expecting anything out of the ordinary. Ya la,  I've been to lots of Uncle Neil's talks & seminars already so I pretty much know how things go. Speaking of it, I remember the first time I felt touched by the Holy Spirit was way back when I was about 10-11 years old. It was during one of his camps too. I remember because I cried like crazy. I cried from the session, during the drive back home from church (nda jauh pun actually) until I fell asleep. I was really kinda embarrassed because others were like the usual.

So anyway, this time I told myself to prepare myself more spiritually rather than technically. And I tried. I really prepared myself for Confession. Father Lionel was really attentive and helpful. I like the way he listens and advises me. He really is like a big brother :) I really thank God for people like Uncle Neil and Father Lionel. 

Anyway, in preparing for this seminar I was able to 'renew' my 'expired' Bahasa Roh. Haha! Yep, I haven't used it since I first received it back in 2004, I think. Another reason to thank God :)

So during this seminar, I really wanted to reconnect with God. Different people may have different experiences during this seminar. I don't really want to elaborate on what I felt during each session because it surely will take time. 

There are some important things that I took note of :
  1. I really need to work on my personal relationship with God.
  2. There is no shortcut. You need to pray & read the Bible.
  3. I need to make Jesus the king in every aspect of my life :)
  4. let people know you are a Christian through your examples in daily life.
I am really grateful for the committees who have worked hard for this seminar :) Here's my heartfelt thanks:
