The big 21st B'day

What can I say about this whole day? I think in many ways, it kind of sums up my life and it all adds up for me. Its been a day that I’ve looking forward to for the longest time. And I think many of us look forward to our 21st birthday too. And at the start of this year, there were 2 events that I was looking forward to. And of course, my 21st was one of them and the second would be my trip to Aussie.

Today started with 9am mass and then the kind of a usual Sunday morning in church. But when I came home, a sense of weirdness and un-satisfaction came upon me. And from there, I started thinking about how the party at night would turn out for me. Then arose many thoughts of whether this night would really be a memorable one for me.

So I just carried on my day with my family and also helped the brilliant mother to clean the house for the party. And then the party came. I was quite amazed at how many people came. I think about 50 people in all came. It comes to me as a quite a shock that so many people would come to my 21st B’day celebration.

But when I round up the whole day, I would surely conclude that this day has been a simple one with its struggles and joys. But I especially take back with great memory in my heart, that I’ve been able to spend my 21st B’day with the ones I love dearly for the whole 24 hours. And the moment which took my breath away, was when I was cutting my 21st B’day cake. At that moment, there flashed the love of people before me and I was so nervous. But out of the whole 24 hours, that was the moment which really took my breath away.

And where is God in all of this, so you may ask? My answer is that God is in every split second of these last 24 hours. Throughout every moment of the day, I could see God hand’s in everything. And I know for sure too that that he is so happy that I had such an excellent & memorable 21st Birthday!

Lord Jesus, I thank you and praise you for such a simple but wonderful 21st Birthday! I love you O God so much. Thank you God for everything! And thank you to all who’ve sent me messages, wished me throughout the day, new confirmation group for remembering my birthday and lastly, thank you so much for all who came for my Birthday celebration at my house. Much love to all of you. Praise God!
