Confirmation

On the outside, confirmation is pretty much like a graduation from CCD. No more of that little kid stuff; you are now an adult in the Catholic Church. Thirteen years of CCD and as a prize you get a cross on the forehead and a handshake from the Bishop.


On the inside, it is much more than that. It has taken years for my relationship with God to be this strong, and it is getting stronger every day. At first, I didn't want to get confirmed because I didn't really know what the point of it was. I didn't think it was important, and no one really motivated. That was, until I formed a close group in class with Theresa, Kayla, Karl, Rex, Arlene, and Eric. They are the reason I stayed in Confirmation class. I know you're supposed to do it for God, but how can you without a little push? Because they influenced me to stay in class, I developed a closer relationship to God. I read the bible almost every day, and I thank God ALL the time. Because GOD IS GOOD, ALL THE TIME; ALL THE TIME, GOD IS GOOD.

I'm really excited to recieve the Holy Spirit tomorrow. At the same time, I'm sad that I won't get to be with all the people I've known ever since I came to Holy Spirit. But hey, it's life. You move on and you separate!

Im excited to get confirmed because I'm excited to be more involved with the church. Hopefully by next month, I'll be a lector for the Thursday mass! The elders need to retire anyway, and Father Tim LOVES it when younger people step up and get involved. Maybe I'll even become a CCD teacher for younger kids in the future. Who knows? THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT WITH JESUS AND THE HOLY SPIRIT BY MY SIDE :D
