Confirmation

 I never would have thought I would help out with a Confirmation program, and today being the Confirmation anniversary of my sister and I. It all seemed to just fall into my lap when I took on this role as a volunteer catechist; things started to click. 

Realizing that my deep desire for sharing my faith unfolded over the school year, and the familiarity of working with high school students felt effortless. I was already familiar with the age group and most of them attend the school I used to work at. Not to mention, it's the parish that I would regularly go to pray at after work those 4 years. I could say more, bit you get the point. 

I had a really bad day earlier in the day when I first joined- I was emotional, in a bad mood, and just at a low point with my internship earlier that day. But come evening, I felt so welcomed when I joined, and felt like I had a deeper purpose and mission. Like there was a spark. I instantly felt like I belonged, and it was the right thing. And it's cool to share this with the other volunteers. 

So today, being the anniversary of the day when I received the sacrament of Confirmation, I'm blessed and grateful I get to help prepare young people for the same sacrament. What better way to be a soldier for Christ and witness the faith in this particular way. I never ever thought I would and honestly never gave it a thought, but with time, things seem to make sense and fall into place.
