Recovering from Sickness

During Good Friday, I overexhausted my body to the point that I forgot to buy medicines on time. It didn't helped someone would not pay her debt to me and my salary would be the next Monday. So, Good Friday, Great Saturday and Easter, I was clearly out of ammo and too weak to move. I did served in the liturgy but it's different when I have nasal allergies because of pollen fever. Add the fact over-exhausting myself would turn out having sore throat. Yayks.

Thankfully my salary was put into place last Monday and that I bought medicines immediately. Now, I am bit fine but I still have sore throat and "some" nasal allergies. I wasn't able to make articles on my blog or videos on my Youtube account as a result. I also went to my parents and walked a lot because I was eating too much just to recover.

I am more well but going to Osaka on Sunday to visit my Godfather in the church, my body will be challenged again. Next day after overtime, I will play basketball with my former neighbor and other people. It seems my body clamors for more tests, I think.

Have a safe post-Easter period everyone.

My First Experience as an altar server

First and foremost, I wished to serve in the altar when my services are needed. With that said, I just follow the people's word these and that. It went smoothly, thankfully. Waking up early and going there early is also hectic but when you think of God's power, nothing is impossible.

The funny thing on being an altar server is that I requested for an L size vestment and I almost slipped a lot of times but thankfully, I didn't fall. Next time, I will use M sized because I am getting thinner since I am on a diet regimen. Practice makes perfect though. I managed to nail almost everything except for some but I can get used to it as time passes.

It could have been God's blessing since these are the things I am expecting to contribute to the church. It's an honor as well since God sees my struggles and it's obvious no matter how many criticisms I get from my parents, who obviously vehemently oppose my conversion and to colleagues who will lay out simple yet innocent criticisms since of course, we need to tell them what it is really and it is unlike on the other side.

Hopefully, I can be a regular altar server and my faith in God is enriched through these simple but things I can participate along with other people who go to church and with all the saints, in communion with God's true church.
