A Lot of Growing Up to Do

On a Sunday afternoon, while everybody else is attending the mass or going to a Bible study, you’ll find me sitting in front of the idiot box watching cartoons or telenovela. I’m not a regular church goer and I really feel bad about it I’m guilty! My mother is really against this but I always have a ready argument as to why I can’t attend the mass: I have to work, I feel sick, I’m busy, etc. Actually, I have over a hundred reasons and not one of them is valid. I’m just lazy!

OUCH! I can just imagine people raising their eyebrows and saying “you are really bad!”

I don’t know…but I feel that I would only go to the church on a regular basis once I already have my own family…my own adorable children and a loving husband. I have a friend, she said the moment she gave birth to her baby, she suddenly wants to know more about Him, she wants to read the Bible, go to church more often, things like that. I feel that Iam like her. My bestfriend told me that I should start now! Of course I know that Listening to His Word is a duty and also a blessing. It’s something that I’ve learned from the church (I’m a Catholic), I’ve heard from the elders, I’ve read from the Bible, I’ve seen on TV, but I just can’t understand why it’s so hard for me to put it into practice

But wait! I’m not naman the super all-out bad girl! I’m currently working on it. Believe it or not, I’m struggling to overcome this laziness. I must admit that my enemy is myself! At my age, I already learned a lot of things in life, most of which are learned the hard way, but I guess, I still have a lot of growing up to do…
