as far as i can remember i am 100% catholic, both my parents were catholic as well as my immediate relatives. but these past few 3 years of my life i was like confused about "my religion" does it really matters? because for me it's not about your religion, it's about your relationship to God. when i met him i knew he was a servant of God not to mention his family's dedication on what they are and what they have. july 2010 he asked me to join him to venerate and i was like "what? what am i going to do? hey i'am catholic" at first i was hesitant to join but then he finally convinced me, the whole experience was full of shocked and revelations. they started it with a prayer and a welcome song for the newly attended bothers and sisters they were all clapping, waving, singing and dancing to the worship songs and they offered what they called "ikapu" it means offering. according to him, all of us should give at least 10% of our monthly earnings-- it's written on the bible he says. on the latter part, i realized its about time for me to speak out what really inside of my heart and mind-- i don't want to do this anymore 2 years was long. let me correct what you might be thinking, i didn't regret anything as a matter of fact i am very thankful because it changed me a lot, from my perception to my heart down to my soul especially in times of darkness. i'm somehow bothered because last night a good friend were telling a love story of my brother, i asked how come they broke up he said "rica is a born again christian" and my brother chose to stay to be a catholic. somehow its true-- people doesn't need to change their religious beliefs over love, better if people both respect love and religion.
