I don’t know if this is the right place, but I do hope it is.
I have not checked this forum for a long time. I have not checked my posting history (if that’s possible) when was the last time I was here. I think when they did the format change, and I felt it was rather difficult to get used to. So let say, I am back from a very long journey, just like a prodigal son.
The past week, the Lord “took away” my close friends from me. It was very hurtful and painful experience. But in doing so, I grew closer with other friends who are Christians/Catholics. I feel it is a process of Him wanting me back.
My problem is (this sounds like a brag, but it doesn’t. Trust me!), I can easily learn about Catholic teaching, I love talking about God also, I love reading Catholic books. But, life around the Church seems boring to me. I am more interested with life outside the Church. However, whenever I make friends outside the Church, I don’t really have much to offer, due to my specific interest.
I don’t know, I am such a mess. my mind and my heart isn’t in the right place. I feel like Jonah sometimes. I have a feeling since years ago, that God wants me to serve Him in the Church.
So this time, I am going to give it a chance. I started today with a morning prayer (can’t remember the last time, I did it). The road ahead will be difficult but I hope to receive some prayer, help and guidance. Even better if I have friends to talk to.
This will sounds weird, but I am a gamer. Let say, I want to go to the next level in my spiritual journey, can anyone help me on what to do to achieve that? Daily activities, quests, self discipline? Any tips are appreciated.
If you are still reading, thank you very much. God bless you.
