That’s just a feeling, though. I am not sure, so for now, she’ll be .5. Haha.

29.  Make the weekly Feast a top priority – yay! When my sister comes home, I’d drag her to the Feast too.

30. Join a Caring Group and grow! – Today, ‘Sunshine’ just officially sold me to one Caring Group leader at PICC. So I guess I am now a member of a CG, whether I like it or not. Actually, she’s been bugging me to join her CG at Valle Verde. But I told her I am not very comfortable — sa itsura kong ito, mahiyain ako talaga. Hehe. Sounds strange but it’s true. I cannot immediately ‘gel’ with new people, and it takes me quite some time to be comfortable around them.

In a Caring Group, people sit together, read the Bible and share experiences and reflections. I know a CG is a great thing and maybe I just have to overcome that shyness so I can grow together with my new CG friends.

Pero sana…wag muna magtext yung CG leader ko >_<
