Hello people (: Just came back from the Cathedral Of the Good Sheperd. Mass is awesome. Jesus is awesome! :DD The choir there is really good! Their voices are really strong and it they are so good that they remind me of angels praising God.Thank God for them , and I'm really happy that they put their talent to good use. Some people in this world have the most gifted abilities , but yet they use them for the wrong reasons.

Anyway after the mass , Father Paul made an announcement to us catechumens.Our baptism date is set on 16th August. When i first heard that , it suddenly struck deep into my being. 16th August..... that was the day when i got pneumothorax (lung collaspe) , the day when i fell. That was the incident which made me experience God the strongest in my whole life. It was the time when i was totally helpless , and when i could not depend on my own strength anymore ; God picked me up. It was this time when i truly felt the love of God for me and turning point for me in my life.

And it is on the same date , 16 August , that i am going to be baptised. I will be the day when i start life anew , living in the Lord Jesus Christ , and with the Lord living in me. Like a baby i will be born again , fresh from baptism. I find it hard to believe.. could this be a mere coincidence? the baptism was supposed to be during sept or towards end of the year , but it was suddenly brought forward. To 16th of August. Faith tells me it cannot be just a coincidence.. This perfect mystery of God left me in awe and dumbfounded. The day when i fell , will be the day when i am picked up by God. It is as if a message from God , gently reminding me that he will pick me up no matter what , even if i fall.

And i really like to share this with you readers... because it is just too amazing. I can't describe it with words. The events happening in my life , and even the recent ones when i am sooo confused within , trying to seek assurance and answers...God gave me one today. The answer that only i know. Praise God!
