Hi, I'm Adlyn and I'm 15 next year. I'm here to tell a story of my background a little, and how Jesus came in to my life!
I was born a Catholic. Until the age of 8, my family and I, went to church faithfully every Saturdays and I had to go to Sunday School on Sundays. Well I was 8, and I did not understand why we had to go to church, most of the time when people were standing to sing the songs, i'll have excuses not to participate. Then when we were 9, we stopped going. If i was not mistaken, my brother had an important tuition to attend and since it was PMR we had to neglect God from our lives for now! But believe me, this very day, I think it was the biggest mistake we ever did! We only attended mass only on big celebrations such as Christmas and Easter.
My parents never told me anything about Jesus, I cant blame them though, it was maybe of my lack of enthusiasm to know probably. I remember when i was 7, one of my aunt gave me a children's bible to read! It was filled with pictures so that's what caught my attention back then heee. The stories obviously was not in detail, but I read about King David, Noah's ark and many more! The stories were fascinating, but I didnt know there was a huge other meaning behind these stories!
Approximately when i was 13, my year was in a mess! I didn't really wanted to be in St Mary, I was supposed to be in Sri Bestari in Damansara but i guess plans changed! In addition, St Mary was way nearer, you can practically walk to my house. As i said, i screwed up my year! My parent were extremely busy that year, my mum was doing a cause on early childhood and my dad on the other hand was working 24/7. Dont get me wrong, but I had one thing to live for finally! Privacy! I could do whatever I want in life. Go out with friends, online without any time limit and not touch the books whenever i want too! So that was my life back then! After my mid term results drop unexpectedly, I only had.. hmmm 3A's? over 11 subjects.. You see, my life is practically my books! Well in other words, my achievement is my studies. So, when I got to know my results, I broke down and cried to God. For once, after a very long time, I pleaded to God, take me to the right path again. I believed God did hear my prayer. Cause for sem 2 to I had about 7As. At least a major improvement right :). So I dedicated myself in learning more about The Lord!
So this particular year, I decided to join the CF . I was not busy on Fridays, so why not? Surprisingly, CF is a very friendly community! Although, I'm a timid girl especially towards the upper forms. I dont know why though. Its always been in me! But, I made a few friends too. Michelle, Feisan, Doris, Melissa. I participated in a few activities. Miss Boey's farewell, the trip to Orang Asli and The BK quiz. My knowledge towards my Saviour was not only enhanced but I had a good time in CF too :) And this year, having praying to Jesus, regularly made be more calm in the sense of what I did in life. I had a group of awesome friends who was always there for me, great results, and most importantly I had faith there was someone above the clouds watching us...
From the girl i used to be, the girl who had no idea which path she suppose to follow, I would say this is just the begining. There is so much more I can learn about Jesus Christ. And just a little shout out, since it is the Christmas month, just want to wish all the viewers, Merry Christmas and A happy New year! May The Lord bless you!
wow... Seriously Adlyn,never knew you're like that...1st time knowing your testimony...
ReplyDeleteAbout you didn't want to go to St. Mary..now come to think of it, girls who got to know God in St. Mary never really wanted to go that school, but was somehow forced to..I didn't really wanted to go there either, but it was there that I really know, experience and encounter God...is this just a coincident? or an amazing work of God? hmmm....:)
Merry Christmas and God bless !! :D
