The Alpha Course

One day, my girlfriend of 6 years, now my wife, told me that there was this Alpha Course and wanted me to go with her. She said it was a basic course which explain basic Christianity. I was thinking, what Alpha Course, I would have know more about God than this course could tell me, and the course was held in a Catholic church.
I was not very gald with it because of some misunderstanding I have with the Catholic. However, as this course was not of Catholic origin, so I just go along with it.


As a protestant, I really don't have any liking of Catholic. They worship Mother Mary, they have statue everywhere. So I try to dissuade my girlfriend to go to Catholic Church. So I bring her to my previous church. And after 6 long years, I finally return to the Church, but she dont really like it. We went back twice, but she was not move by the service. So I try a bigger church. The Rock. Well pastor was good, but it still failed to move her. So I just followed her to the Catholic Church.

At first I really dont like the Mass. It was so boring and so systematic. Well but things do change...

My Teenage Year.

After I leave Boys Brigde, my journey with God also come to a stand still. Between the age of 13 to 16, God was only a small part of my life. I don't go to church, but I still pray and I see myself as a Christian and most importantly I still pray every night, although its more like me talking to God then to God talking to me.

Although I quit BB after I go to secondary school, my brother continue to join in BB, and the age of 16 I started to mix around with the BB people again. This time God once again use these people to draw me to Him. I started to attend their cell group and become involved in church activities (Bethel Presbyterian Church). There was even time where I was a assistant cell group leader. Hehehe. Well, I think I have failed God on this job. Not long after, the group was dissolved and about that time I was going to my poly education. And things just straight down. I have no friend who is Christian in poly, and even those who are Christian were not as "on" as I was before, so for the next six years, I have never step into church.

Exdous...

God came into my life when I was 9 years old. I don't really know what God is or what God really meant to me. I just know God created this world and He is Almighty and powerful, but in a mind of a 9 years old boy, what does all this mean? Well I just know those things, but don't ask me what it meant then. It was through Boys Brigade that God had call me. I was told that we should always pray, and I really did pray, everynight before I sleep... or I should say I just lay on my bed to say my prayer and sleep at the same time. hehehe.



I always think that when one pray, one must always close the eyes. So during my prayer if I happen to open my eyes, I would say the same prayer over and again. Hahaha.
