TRANSITION

A few have come to ask me not long ago, "So are you no longer a Catholic?". But I neither reply with a yes or no - because I believe I was and still am a Christian. One must remember, the Catholic church of Rome is of Christian denomination. We all are believers and followers of Jesus Christ. But only us ourselves can really tell that and not the religion you belong to.


So if I can describe in the simplest way what my water baptism last 30th August 2009 was about, this is what I went through: 


Not a conversion or change of heart but a transition.

My Catholic upbringing taught me about Jesus Christ. But thirty years later, my desire to have a deeper and personal relationship with him is born.


From TRADITION to TRUTH
From EARNING to ACCEPTING (salvation)

P.S. I was actually 7 weeks pregnant with my current child when I took that "plunge" (water baptism) in HillSong church. I was spotting/bleeding for 2 weeks before that and thankfully, on this day "it" was clear.
