MYD 2011

We are going to St Catherine Inanam church this evening to send over the SYD youth cross. It had been 2 weeks since the first day the cross stepped into Good Sherperd Church Menggatal. Hopefully everything will go well.

Personally, this cross bring significant meaning to myself. It does not only bring changes from the outside part of me, but also the inner side of me.

Physically, it helps to build another friendship circle in my life. It is still crystal clear in my mind how i greet the first youth from GSCM. She is florina. Until now, she has been a very good friend of mine. The best thing is that i get the chance to mingle out with the other youths and follow all their activities. Though, my house is a bit far from the church but i am so thankful that my family will always send to church. For going back transport, any of the youth will send me home. I know that it keeps on worrying my parents, especially my mother, for going home late at night, i feel guilty but always pray that God will wipe over their worry. I still remember that i ever reached my home around 2 am. I was so worried that time, luckily nothing bad happened.

Before this, there in no words like 'serving' or 'church youth' in my life dictionary until i met them all. Yes, now i know the feeling of being the servant of God, someone who serves not only for the church but also the community outside of the church. I really enjoyed all the activities in church; camp, carolling, choir, fellowship and many more. I am so thankful to have great company of friends there.

From the inner side of me, this youth cross brings something unspoken explanation. The this that i had experience is hard to be describe by words. I know that everyone has their own definition of this cross. For me, it is a remainder for myself. To nourish my faith, to be strong, to walk on God's path constantly. The things that make me grateful so much is that God always has His way to call me back to him. I believe that everyone has their own personal experience in this youth cross journey. Even if the answer is still 'no' or blur from your side, but you are getting there. For the ones who follow this cross journey for the first time, sooner or later you will understand the reason behind it.

All in all, everything started with the coming of the youth cross which was 4 years ago and i am thankful to God who had created those days.

God bless.

Thank you Lord for giving me that smile that has become the colour of happiness to my life.
