Catholic community for me

After 1 half month I haven't able to attend any Catholic Community such as Emmaus Prayer Group, Cell Group, or Bible Study because of my working conditions, finally God answer my prayer & allow me to attend Emmaus as the beginning, and now I can attend Cell Group and Bible Study.

When I attended last Saturday Prayer Group, somehow the topic touch my critical point that have been longing for. It was about how to growth in our community, with the sharing from Philip about community & how he grow in the community.

These are what I feel difference & confirm 100% sure why I'm so thirst to be part of this community. First time I came to the room, after for quite some times never showed up, everyone was surprised why I was there & asked how am I, how is my job, etc. The warm welcome have touched my heart. Continued by ice breaking before Prayer & Worship started, Leo asked us to greet each other & say Jesus loves you. It has been such long time never heard this words: Jesus loves you. There was tears in my heart. Especially when the Prayer & Worship getting deeper into the presence of Holy Spirit came & one of the song about belong in the presence of God, yes, it was my deeper desire, I want to belong in the presence of Jesus always, I was cry of joy, peace, and happiness. I was thirst to worship Him & finally I can worship Him again. What I felt was this is where I belong and want to belong, in the community where I can worship Him.

It's also about the support, which everyone support me while I was down or join my happiness in the happy time. I thank God for my friends and my community. Most of the members sms me how am I, keep me update of what's going on, invite me for activities that I can join, etc.

My spiritual life also growth through this community, although I still make mistakes in my life, by if I have to see back of my past, I have to admit there are improvement and keep improve and keep move on & walk into the great journey which I never can imagine. How wonderful God's work in my life through this community.

At the end, I only can say community is very important & play an important role in my life, in my spiritual life. And I thank God, because He put & give me a place where I can grow up maturely in my normal life & in my spiritual life. Also I thank to you all who are helping me to grow up.

God Bless You All
