Since i am no longer working on friday, it allows me to spend more time at home doing house-chores and writing my thesis/assignments/papers. Later today, I went to my uncle's place for the usual 8pm bible study meeting on friday night. I left home at 5.30pm to catch 6.00pm #286 bus to eastwood. The bus was on-time but the traffic was unbelievably slow. It took an hour to get there.
Long story short, i arrived and had some kind of normal conversation with my uncle about life, my study and church issue. We had a great time discussing issues and stuff. They were glad that i am finishing my course by the end of the year. And for the first time in four years time, i was personally challenged by my aunt with one question.
"Are you willing to embark the journey of priesthood?" she asked calmly.
I was somehow bewildered, but rather fascinated with the question. There were a few second silent before i resume with an answer. "Yes, I am." i solemnly replied. "And I have given some serious thought about it. I'm yet not knowing when is the time for me to walk that path."
Furthermore i explained to her that i did have the calling and commit my life to God in several occasions back in my early stage of life.
Responding to the call, i raised the matter with my family, pastors and evangelists at church. We all agreed that it would be better to start a priesthood life once i have earned a university degree.
Since that day, i kept this matter close to my heart. For these past years, I have been holding firm on my faith as God has continuously used my life as a channel for His blessing to people in my surrounding. And one day, if God is willing, He will allow me to walk the priesthood's life. But for time being, i have not got any clue about the coming of that day.
I will keep remember this matter in my daily prayer and ask for God's guidance and kindness in shedding some light toward this matter.
