Grace Bible

So last night after RCIA, I picked up Junior and we headed to Momilani elementary school (I believe that's what it's called). Junior's teacher, Mr. Reynon, attends Grace bible and invited Junior and some of our friends to go. I was just a tag-along. Lol. We came kinda late cause I took a while at home trying to look for a CD that I still can't find, plus I just came from OLPH. But anyways, when we came they were singing praise and worship.

I seen Raf whom I know from OLPH and I gave him a hug. We sat next to Ron, Nowey, Jonathan, Kayla and Allie. I sang along to the songs since I knew some of them, but thats all I just sang. Everyone else around me wasn't just singing. They were praising and worshiping, hands in the air, eyes shut tight, singing with spirit. Something that I never do see at OLPH. Well the only time I do see that much spirit is at retreats. But man, these people praise and worship like this every fridays.

Before I attended OLPH, I went to New Hope in waipahu. And before that I went to new hope in waianae. Grace bible reminded me of when I went to New hope. They had those pamphlets with a sheet of paper for taking notes. Lol. It's school on friday nights! I enjoyed this "class" though. Pastor Billy, I believe thats his name, was hella funny. The thing is, he was also hella young. But for a hella young guy, he knew so much.

The lame thing about me attending Grace bible last night was that I wasn't there for no reason. The subject, the homily, (lol) was about drawing yourself closer to God. How we tend to push ourselves away from God. That God wants to help us in our hardships, but he can't because we don't want his help. That we ask God to help us and we'll follow, but instead he wants us to follow and then he'll help. Yeah, I went there for a reason. I've been having so much trouble trying to find God, trust God. I'm gonna be confirmed soon, but my faith is slowly tearing down.

As the mass (or whatever they would call it) was about to end, Pastor Billy asked anyone who wanted to be prayed over to come up to the alter (he actually said 'the alter' which totally caught my attention) and that the 'leaders' would pray over you. Everyone went up except for me. I didn't feel like I should be prayed over. Not here, not now at least. Not at this church.

I am a Catholic christian. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed attending Grace bible and I would totally go again. It's just always been that I never could fit in, not as well as I do at OLPH, not as well as my catholic faith. Yeah, being a catholic can be boring during mass and praise and worship isn't all 'hands in the air' type of energy. But I was called to be a catholic.

Well it ended and we said goodbye to our friends and Junior's teacher. Junior and I ended up going to jack's and eating our food outside his house. (I was suppose to be home at 10 but we hung out til 11) I have more to say about what might have happened next, but you'll have to wait til my next blog entry ;D

Final Thought: "I would of killed him....in Jesus' name and then bring him back from the dead." -Pastor Billy. Could they say that in christian churches?! Lol.
