Most families in my hometown are cultural Buddhist, and same for mine. But I studied 16-17 years in Catholic schools, then I made an educated and sincere conversion to Tin Toaism in my late teens. Got such a big objection from my parents. And finally, after one of my biggest struggle in my life, I converted to Christianity.

JG,
The message window could not contain all of Rev. Rick Warren's quote. Here it is in its entirety:
"Jesus Gal,
I have been praying for your spiritual renewal during your guided retreat.
I received these words as said by Rev. Rick Warren --
We need to ask ourselves: Am I going to live for possessions? Popularity?
Am I going to be driven by pressures? Guilt? Bitterness? Materialism? Or am I going to be driven by God's purposes (for my life)?
When I get up in the morning, I sit on the side of my bed and say, God, if I don't get anything else done today, I want to know You more and love You better. God didn't put me on earth just to fulfill a to-do list. He's more interested in what I am than what I do. That's why we're called human beings, not human doings.
Happy moments, PRAISE GOD.
Difficult moments, SEEK GOD.
Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD.
Painful moments, TRUST GOD.
Every moment, THANK GOD.
God's Blessings on you today.
================================
May the blessings you recieve during this week retreat fill your heart, renew your hope and refresh your spriit!
David
And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
- Romans 5:5
Thank you so much, such a message that echoes what's on my mind too... What a very reassuring coincidence!!
"God, if I don't get anything else done today, I want to know You more and love You better. God didn't put me on earth just to fulfill a to-do list. He's more interested in what I am than what I do"
I remember some of your praying words right before I go for my retreat.
