"Then he said, ''Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.'" Luke 23:4

For the longest time, I considered myself as 80% anti-social. I am not fond of family gatherings and parties; actually anything that involves a lot of people. I would rather lock up in my room and watch anime or turn down invitations just because. 

Ironically, what I want to do is to share my experiences to people, hoping that it will help them out. How can an anti-social like me do that? I don't know. But one day, I actually started walking on that path. I gave up my programming job and jumped on being a practice coach and started teaching. I told myself, in this way, I can fulfill my dream of sharing to others. 

Then I ask myself, "Why are you doing this?" My answer is this: I want to be remembered. I want to leave a mark. A mark that says "Even someone who looks like he or she can't do something, can do it, if he/she wants to." An anti-social who shares. Weird, but that's what makes it remarkable. 

Today's reading is about a different context since it's the story of the repentant thief. Just like him, I ask Jesus to remember me. Even if I'm a weird person, I want him to remember me and take me with Him; a weird person who's struggling to do His will in peculiar forms.

Lord, I pray that my quirk can be a remembrance of how I lived the life You gave me. I'll treasure it with all my heart. Thank you Lord. Amen.
