... this was what was in my mother's facebook account wall update a few days ago... yes my mom has a facebook account - isn't she savvy??!! *captain Jack Sparrow voice here*
... I immediately knew that she had received the letter we wrote for the FamCon activity and waited with bated breath for her to go online and chat...

... when she did, we talked about SFC. We talked how I came to join - how I was reluctant at first but how something just kept me coming to the meetings. We talked about the activities we have had - the conferences, fellowships and outreach programs. We talked about the some of the teachings and how because of SFC and the encouragement of the community, I've started and am trying to regularly go to church, hear mass, read the scriptures (thought there are still times that I find it difficult to understand) and have my own prayer time...
... I told my mom that I still have my shortcomings but I am trying my best to be a better version of myself and I need their support in all of this...
... In not so many words, my mom told me she was proud and happy for me - she told me to continue immersing myself in the community and serving God...
... I am particularly happy that she expressed interest in being part of a similar community and that when time comes she looks forward to doing nothing but serving God - she has been invited to join various groups but she feels she isn't ready...
... a small spark is all that's needed - like how the miniscule mustard seed grows into the biggest tree, I pray that my mother's interest in grows and hopefully in God's perfect time the whole of my family will be part of a Christian community, serve and live Christ-centered lives...
