hey you all,
i told quite a few already, and i'm sure you'd have seen if you go for 9am mass that my parents recently joined the wardens ministry:D (they weren't aware but it was just in time for vocation sunday too^^)
it may not seem like a huge thing and all, but it's really really amazing that they joined and i truely praise God for His persistence in calling them. when i left SFX to go to St Anne's for a few years after moving out of gardens like in 2001 or smth, my parents never understood why i wanted to come back to SFX so much and they always felt it was quite bothersome to drive me all the way down just for cat class back then. even when i joined LOG and pulled my brother to MSC one year later, they would just let francis drive me down to church and drive themselves to another church nearer to our house. that was the case for quite awhile and even though lots of SFX friends keep asking them to come join something here, they never took much interest in it. i've been praying that one day either one of them would take on something in church, and maybe pull the other along eventually, but never thought it would really happen, and it did(:
it's not a mega fantastic awe-inspiring story or anything, but it's in how simple it was that i really praise God about it. my parents have been, and will always be the most humble, simple people i've known in my life and are never to make a fuss about anything. my dad has been retrenched awhile now, but ever since then my parents have taken the time to go for daily morning mass at nativity (power) and it was in those times that they felt the prompting to join the wardens ministry for real. the way they discerned, told me the news and took up the ministry, they never made a show out of it or even told anyone else- to them, it was just showing God that they finally answered His call that mattered enough. it's such a small role they play, but they do it with so much joy and their example teaches me, like how they always have, to myself be decreased so God can increase.
yeah just thought i share that with you guys, do give my parents a smile if they come down the row to collect your monehhh kay...i know my mom's still super nervous about it, told me she felt kinda noob compared to the more pro wardens hahaha.
in God's love and mine,
anne
