Hi everyone, it is lovely to bring this news to you today. Today at church I took my vows of Confirmation and my vows to be Received into the Church. This is a part of another journey of my Christian faith which started in my childhood. I was a young child when I took my Baptism and now saying my vows as an adult it was an important step as well.This was a renewing of my Baptism vows and showing more commitment to Christ.
It was very special and I was very spoilt. It was a lovely ceremony and we had cake and coffee afterwards. This was a spiritual union to me and an invitation to the Last Supper and spiritual union to the lamb of the Church (Revelations 19:9). I had red ribbon tied over my eyes as a blindfold and my dad walked me to the church door and at the door I removed the ribbon to face the groom, the Church.
It was on the cards for a while. This was my always my aim to do this Sacrament, but I saw my own thorns in a image sent to me after I made this decision which meant that may be my life and suffering was not without spiritual purpose for me being the empty vessel and as simple as I am and dependant on Christ the vine for my life.
My dad told me today that he had a dream yesterday that and he saw a star in the sky and then it shot upwards. I think it was a celebration in Heaven as well.
Thank you for sharing this special celebration with me and for putting this on for me my church.
To the future and beyond
