Only during times of trouble and danger does one knows how blessed he is:
1. I was so touched when both parents and all close friends rushed down to the hospital once they got the news that I was involved in a traffic accident.
2. I am so glad that I am stilL very much ALIVE!!!
3. I was so touched when one of my long time friend, who also had a Class 2B license, came immediately with his car to help me locate my bike. He agreed so steadily to even bring my bike home when asked. I mean, a long time no see friend, was so ready to help me! He even sent me and my parents to the police station after everything, in which was already about 12 midnight already. He was really a great help that night. Thanks Hadi!
4. I am so thankful that my pillion, a close friend, was not injured in the accident. He only got a bump on his butt. He was a pillion, and I was the rider, mind you! I wouldn’t know how to face his parents if anything were to happen to him.
5. I am so thankful that the caring uncle driving a white van behind me stopped and readily rendered assistance when the accident happened.
6. I am so thankful that an ambulance was passing by the accident site when we did not even call for one.
7. I am so thankful that some flesh and money for treatment and repairs, as well as some mobility, were the only things I lost in this accident. I gained much more than that.
8. I am so grateful that so many people called or SMSed me to check if I was ok when they recieved the news of the accident.
Also, sometimes, one really needs to start to count his blessings more, instead of complaining how bad their life is:
1. I was so touched that how a particular friend ALWAYS takes note of my MSN nick, and would come forward to ask if I was ok when my nick seems emo. After which, she will never fail to cheer me up. Really grateful to have such a friend. Thanks Madeline!
2. I am so happy to be saved. So touched that after so many years, He was still waiting, with arms open, for me to go to him. He even sent people around me to lead me into His path. All the great people, Luis, Why Chen and her mum, who have never gave up to serve His purposes, to help me be saved. And of course, Natalie, who was with me when I finally decided to give myself to Him.
3. I am so grateful to have a friend to talk with whenever I feel down or just not myself. He is always willing to spend hours to meet up for a coffee and chat with me.
Thanks Zheng Xiang!
However, even though He has been teaching us to be content with what we have, there are of course still things I really wished for…because till now, she still doesn’t know all these that had happened. How I wished she was the first one to know. How I wished she was the first one who was at the hospital. But none did came true.
It pains my heart that she was being bullied and insulted the very night I was in the hospital, all due to the lustful nature of men. Lust is a sin. I can only pray for her. Please discourage her from visiting those places again, and even if she did, please protect her from all those lustful men. For I can only pray, for she still doesn’t know.
Above all, I know You are the one that have been protecting me. Above all, I am thankful for all Your blessings. I want to walk with you, even closer to you. I pray for strength to overcome all the obstacles, to deal all the objections I will face in the future, to face all the challenges of my faith in You. For I know You have the best plan for me, bringing the best partner for me, to serve Your purpose. No amount of reasoning can demolish Your impeccable Truth.
