God gives me a gift

God truly knows me so well. In actual fact, he knows me more than myself. He is really so sweet when he gives gifts. It really touched my heart so much. I knew that God & I have really great times during prayer when he moulds me and teaches me his ways, but never would I expect such a gift. I am so thankful to Aunty Corinne for being used by God and being extremely sweet to think of me and give me a gift.

Well I’m sure you’ll must be thinking, “Mark, isn’t about time you told us what the gift is?”

And Yes I'll tell you. After desiring so much to get a World Youth Day shirt for the longest time, Aunty Corinne & my Godpa & especially God has given me a WYD’08 shirt. When Aunty Corinne passed me the shirt this morning after mass, I was totally shocked and I wished I had taken the expression on my face because I was extremely happy! I really could remember the joy I had in my heart. I am still in quite a state joy of receiving the gift!

This gift is so simple but yet, it means the world to me that I received this gift. It’s been a desire that’s been in my heart for the longest time. After checking out the prices of the WYD’08 shirts online, I was totally in utter dismay of the prices of the shirts but then Sarah who’s in aussie studying had then offered to like get the shirt for me and would then pass it to me in a few months. But I never at all expected anyone to actually get me a gift of such. I am extremely happy and encouraged to seek God even more after receiving the WYD’08 shirt. I hope you can really feel the joy I feel. It’s so amazing.

And I guess why I’m so happy about this shirt is because I really wanted a piece something so special to the heart of God, The World Youth Day! During the WYD’08 when everyone else was there, I felt so sad that I wasn’t able to be there but I knew that God was preparing me so something more or maybe the next WYD in 2011 in Madrid. But even then God provides for me as the EWTN website had live coverage of the WYD’08. I guess another reason is that I’m a huge fan of the Pope. Actually I’m a fan of all Popes! So I really love to hear the sermons and messages the pope gives to the Universal Catholic Church. So thankfully, God provided a way for me to catch the finale mass of WYD’08 live.

Hope you can see my Joy! Haha!

Looks quite good on me or rather it makes me look good!

The shirt looks so very awesome!

I love it!

So Lord Jesus Christ, I give the utmost glory & praise for this gift and also for the gift of Aunty Corinne who’s more of a Godma to me & also to my Godpa. May you bless them always with your blessings and graces! Praise the name of Jesus!
