I'm Catholic and I believe in God.
Without sounding too ridiculous, I thought it would be cool for all of you who want to read the story of how I came to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. So here goes:
I've learned about God for ages. I went to church in my hometown called Nakhon Ratchasima and then my parents are divorced, I live with my mom. She took me and my sister to Bangkok when I was in 10th grade
Still, I learned a lot about God and the importance of making one's faith personal. Over the course of the year, I asked Jesus into my heart and started a personal relationship with him. I had been experiencing depression prior to confirmation, but over the course of the year, that drifted away. I think I had filled a void in my life. Things went well all through high school. I go to Catholic youth group and I make lots of awesome international friends
Coming to Bangkok opened a whole new door for me in my fatih. For the first time ever, I had a group of Catholic friends who were interested in praying together, talking about God, and just giving general support. It has been such an amazing experience to have Catholic fellowship! Speaking of which, I became a regular attender at Salesian Sisters (I'm not quite sure how to spell it in English).
I am actually a big part of Catholic youth group. It's not a bible study, but it is definately God-centered. I am no better a Catholic than anyone else, but I am happy to do it nontheless! I am excited to have the opportunity to help build a Catholic support network for others, since that was a huge leap in my faith journey.
However, this year hasn't been all great. God has sent my fair share of challenges. A close agnostic friend with depression presented many challenges. And while I may have felt distant from God at times, I have not lost my faith. God is powerful, and I can see evidence of his presence in my everyday life. I truly believe that God is taking care of me and hears my constant prayers.
Holy Father. I'm not sure will you read this but please listen to this prayer. You are powerful, fearful, and wonderful. The earth you have made is beautiful, and it is bound by the rules you designed for it. Please provide me with the things I need. Please forgive the many things I have done wrong, and remind me that I also need to forgive others who do wrong. Please be near me and help me grow in my faith. Remind me of your love when I am tempted to do wrong. I cannot understand the wonder of your creation or your perfect love. You are all powerful, and I praise you for your glory. Amen.
