This Is My Gift


Today is my 16th birthday! It’s like the only concurrent day in the year where you are at least allowed to focus on yourself. After 12:00 am, it’s back to the shadows!

Decisions, decisions, decisions. The worst thing to do is choose what gift to get. How they do it? By summer, my parents ask me to start thinking about what I want for my birthday, in which I fail to respond until the very last day and nothing’s available. Then, or it gets cancelled until later, or Christmas, or something else, or nothing more.

So, this time, it’s no more exception than last year. But actually being in Maryland changes everything! Honestly, I don’t know what to ask, for this is going to be the worst time for recovery for my tío. There are many things we would like to do, but we have to wait, wait, wait… And on top of that, I can’t choose what the title for this post is! I thought for a lot, but I either knew them from another or were inanely stupid!

I wrote something yesterday night (I know, I’m not big on writing in advance ‘cause I don’t like it and some other stuff), but something better came up. I woke up, I bathe, I brushed my teeth, and waited for my dad to leave from using the laptop so that yours truly can start writing something up. Among my inability to do decisions, what should be my gift? What can I ask? What’s that thing God wants me to have?
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23, NIV)
I used this verse for the other post. However, as much as I try to refrain simple verses or things everyone knows, the gift they asked me looks so much like that gift of eternal life God gave me a while ago. And I gracefully accepted it, with no need to! And God wants us to have that gift for all time! Thank You, Lord!

How great is our God!
