11 Entry Eleven

Sept 30, 2015

I called the pastor today and was shocked to know that there are hundreds of things to go through before a wedding. It seems that Gared and I will have to go through seminars, and also through counseling sessions.

I met up with the pastor alone before I set a meeting with Gared. There are so many questions in my head about this. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor are Christians, but we don’t go to church, so there’s more than one question in my head about God.

Once I got to the church the pastor sat me down and asked me a couple of questions, like; am I sure about this, what my plans are, etc. He also asked me about my relationship with God, ‘cause according to him, “in the center of every successful marriage is the Lord”.

That’s when I started asking him questions. I had a lot of questions for him regarding my religion.

I have heard a lot of people say that they are alive now, only because of the Lord. I’m wondering if I’m the same. I can’t say I believe in him, but that may be because I never got the chance to, to begin with.

I believe I’m lucky because, according to what I’ve learned at school, being hit by your parents is a bad thing, but Mr. and Mrs. Taylor are doing the right thing, as they are only disciplining me. Every time a “session” starts, it’s only because of a mistake that I’ve made.

After my talk with the pastor, he asked me to start reading the bible as the start of my relationship with the Lord. I guess he figured out that I haven’t been as knowledgeable as I should be.

Before I left he touched my injured shoulder, it was from the last “session” that hasn’t healed yet, it still hurt, so I avoided him. I panicked for a second, hoping he didn’t notice anything wrong.

He seemed to have sensed that something wasn’t right, but he only smiled at me. I relaxed after that noticing that he wasn’t going to question me.

He did tell me to start reading the bible though. He mentioned that I should start with 1 Corinthians chapter 6 verses 19 to 20.

Aside from my visit with the pastor, today was pretty regular. I cooked breakfast on time, and Mr. and Mrs. Taylor seemed to still be in a good mood.

I guess I can say today was a good day, Notebook. I hope the next few days will be the same. I have an exam coming up, and I don’t want to disappoint Mr. and Mrs. Taylor.
