We asked that you, my dear friends, to continue to keep us in your prayers.
p.s had my first ‘confession’ during this retreat. I was really nervous as I do not know how it will go. But at the end, I can say that it takes lots of courage and humility to be able to admit a mistake and talk about it with a priest.
We spent a wonderful and insightful time together during this weekend - we took time off to really take stock of our relationship - where we are now (together with God) and where we will be heading (together with God and also maybe the little ones that may come our way). It is like a detox session ... haha.
These sessions had helped to affirm that we are on the right track and many issues that we usually find it hard to discuss (due to busy work schedules or just dunno how to open our mouths to talk about it or just plain laziness) were brought to light. I was quite surprised that we actually have the same set of values even though we did not formally discuss them prior to attending the course.
Anyway, there are still some areas that we need to work on and the journey is just beginning for us.
