today is the celebration of the Pentecost.  i attended mass and after the mass, we were encouraged to get a gift from the Holy Spirit near the altar.

ofcourse, i got one and…

gift of the Holy Spirit: knowledge
fruit of the Holy Spirit: patience

i still don’t know why knowledge is the gift i received today.  maybe because i still don’t know.  i have a lot of questions in my heart right now, and i have not found the answers to them yet.  i wanted the gift of wisdom, but since i received knowledge, it should be the one i need.

patience. my motto in life had always been and still is ‘patience is a virtue’.  and patience has been the key to my survival from the roller-coaster ride i’ve had in my life.

with these gift and fruit, im quite excited, at the same time scared, with the challenges i am about to face.  but He will always be by my side holding me. and knowing that alone, i am ready.
