oh Patron Saint of Lost... causes? loss? lost things?

here i am, on my bed... the clock on the top right hand corner of my lil iBook says 11:03pm. as usual, i had planned to be in bed after watching "Heroes" that ended at 10pm but here i am, still.

"open our eyes, Lord... we want to see Jesus... to reach out and touch him... and say that we love him..." words gently being carried from my new CD to my heart.

i just tried to ask St. Anthony to help me find a receipt for $118 that has gone missing. well, he's gone missing too. he worked for me once... so scary. i had lost something and finally, as my final, last resort, i turned to St. Anthony. i've never been "into" saints... heh, nothing against saints, just not used to it. but well, that one time, i was desperate and i came out of the loo and asked him, if he could just let me look at the right place... or to let me think of the place that i had forgotten to look. next thing i knew, it suddenly occurred to me that i had not checked one file or something. i can't remember... but as that came to mind, i KNEW it would be there. and it was!

but then again, another time i tried asking, it didn't work. and that was the time i lost something from the Archbishop. :P

well, this time round also not working... he must be busy with people who've lost their hearts or their hopes... :(

BUT MY RECEIPT IS JUST AS IMPORTANT!!!

where can it BE!!!!

*breathe breathe breathe*

ok, let the songs calm me down. OOHHMMM................... calm me down, calm me down............

my receipt.... :((

+++++

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *BLESSED BE GOD, BLESSED BE GOD!!!!*

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i was about to go sleep. tired of looking through the same files and piles of paper... all baptism papers....

but C-of-the-same-name said he would intercede for me after he asked me to leave his patron saint alone... so i thought, hmmm. am i supposed to look or would it just plonk in front of my face? well, since there was someone interceding for me, maybe i look one more round. just one more... and i wasn't confident that i'll find it at all.

and opening the same file for xxx times... i spied an envelope that's been there all along and that i've leafed through and JUST DIDN'T SEE.

THANK YOU, ST ANTHONY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :):):):)

i can't stop GRINNING.
