Well, honestly, I did not feel any excitement because my concept of ordination is a little bit different. Ordination for me is an affirmation of the church of my pastoral ministry calling and work, and upon ordination I would move to become a bona-fide, empowered minister to do gospel work in the church who ordained me. But I am leaving, I already signified my intention to leave last February to join Makati Hope Christian School to be their Assistant Principal. I really felt weird rather than excited with the affirmation of my calling to fulltime minsitry. I have talked to the leaders to decline but due to some technical issues, I have to accept the ordination.
Come to think of it, I felt accepting ordination is additional work hehehe... which is true. Not that I am complaining. I know my life is dedicated to God's work, but being ordained and attending Makati Hope Christian Church as a volunteer seems disadvantageous. The church does not have any ordained minister, so in any liturgical work, I would become the closes available in times of need, which in Filipino-Chinese church, there seems to be a need everyday. So, I need to fill in automatically??? hehehe... Oh no, we the load of work in school and fulfill church duties... I think it will kill me and make me single for life. I have worked in a Filipino-Chinese church for 9 years and I tell you, I know these scenarios... hehehe.
May the good Lord who I love and serve continue to be my strength in my next ministry, and it is still "EQUIPPING GOD'S PEOPLE FOR EVERY GOOD WORK!"
