Fr. G's last sermon at our parish

As usual, at 6.30am I woke up to attend mass at 7.30am. You must be wondering why so early.. Coz i need to leave my house by 7am inorder for my granny who is over 80 years old to get a seat at the front pew.

For years I have been attending church at this hour. During my years as a church goer, I have to admit there were times where I tried to sneak a few winks, or sometimes trying to hide behind the person in the front pew so that the priest who is standing at the altar upfront dont' catch me sleeping or rather napping!?!?

But of course, the years where I was away from home; studying in the US, I went to church at a much later time. Not becoz i couldn't wake up but their mass times are much later. Well, I could choose not to go church rite? Away from parents and such but I WANTED to go. As there's the only place I can draw strength from God and feel renewed to start another week on this earthly place.

But in the recent years, God has been good, He sent us really dynamic and those really really charasmatic priest. FR. G is one of them. He has been with us almost 4 years now. He was previously based in penang at the college general (well this college is for upcoming priest) as a lecturer. I bet he is a good one. He knows the bible so well and his interpretation is fantabulous. I will that. Over these 4 years, I have enjoyed his every sermon. Further to that, Fr. G sings really well too. He has a deep voice.... He sings during the consecration and also during the times where the mass ended and he is giving his blessings.

I will miss Fr. G. But Fr. G is someone who is huge. When I say huge i mean in size too ah! Meaning he is tall and big. He can be quite intimidating. He has proud streak in him too. But I want to look beyond that. I haven't had the chance to sit and talk to him. But I hope one day God will send a priest to the parish whom I can talk to. I would like to talk to him then about what are my options in serving God. Not in terms of joining the convent but in terms of probably doing missionary work.

I will miss Fr. G's sermons.... but God has other plans for him rite? Moving him back to be a full time lecturer at College General once more.

I have a friend who left for Kenya to do missionary work. She quit her job and just like that she is going to kenya. I met her during my discipleship class which took one whole year to complete. That was a class i never thought i could be so dedicated. But am proud to say I graduated with only missing 2 classes. That was about more than 2 years ago!!! Wow how time flies aye.?

So now I am embarking on Alpha Program. But alpha is abit different. Will talk more about alpha in another log..........

That's my thought on this sunday morning... am gonna go take a nap now.
