I've always believed in God.
You can consider me a Christian, or an Atheist.
Never judge a person, if you don't understand their views of things.
I never liked the topic about religion.
Mainly because it is unending.
And I'm not typical.
But recently, something happened,
That made me believe even more that,
Yes, God has his way of planning destiny.
He has his reasons for things to happen,
For the better, or worst,
Everything eventually prevails.
Last two weeks or so,
I had a minor car accident in a small town,
Near my university where we were heading to have lunch at.
It was an unusually small stretch of road,
As it was in a somewhat close residential area.
While in the midst of parking my car,
I accidentally rammed into a curb on the tight left.
It was really low and unnoticeable,
And was also hidden in a maze of grass and weeds.
My heart stopped instantly when i heard my car scrape.
Parts of the skirting came off, the damage was done.
A huge surge of guilt washed over me.
My friends were in the car shocked as well.
So i didnt want to make a fuss about it.
We got down, and i removed the remnants of the skirting off,
So it no longer dragged the ground.
It was an unfortunate incident.
My mood was ruined for the day.
Especially when i had to break it to my parents.
I couldnt tell them what really happened.
All i could say was, another car pressured me to the side of the road
When I was on my way back home that night and it was dark.
I half expected to be yelled at or lectured.
But that wasn't the case.
Mum was upset, but she didnt say much.
Dad asked me what happened,
And after telling him, he merely said:
"Next time be more careful. Dont come back so late."
And that was it.
Sighhh...
I felt the guilt creep in more,
But all i could do was offer to pay for the repairs myself.
I wanted it to be my lesson too.
I wanted it to be a reminder for me to be MORE CAREFUL.
Ouchh... There goes my RM200+.
Anyway, God had a bigger plan ahead.
He intended for that happen for a bigger cause.
It troubled me to think it was possible at first,
But i am convinced now that God loves each of us differently.
This past Wednesday was my Uni friend Jacky's birthday.
Sam and I planned to have this small celebration for him.
That instead of having the cliche CAKE,
We decided to get him two tubs of ice-cream. : )
Willis is Jacky's best friend.
They didnt have anymore classes after 11am.
So he offered to accompany me to Tesco to get the grubs.
Having given him permission to drive us to KL previously,
I allowed him to drive my car again.
[ Note: I dont usually trust ppl with my car. ]
All was good as we safely got there.
On the way back, what seemed like an unlikely lapse,
Has caused him to ram across a divider on the left.
Initially when he neared it,
I suspected it was quite close as i was on the passenger's seat.
I didnt think he would steer left even more when accelerating.
Thus, crashing the car's skirting again.
He was dumbstruck, and I was nerve wrecked!!
He kept apologising and said
It was his first time encountering an accident.
For me, i was thinking,
"Thank LORD it was already damaged!!"
So i assured him by saying it was alright.
Imagine if i hadnt had that accident 2 weeks before,
What would happen now? What position would i be in?
He would be drowning in self guilt,
And i would be struggling to deal with the dilemma.
Honestly, i would rather crash my own car and face up,
Rather than have people crash MY car and I face up.
Phheeww~ A sigh of relief.
God works his magic in different ways.
He means for things to happen,
For a bigger cause than ourselves.
This has taught me to embrace my circumstance,
Good or bad, because i will never know,
What other plans he has installed.
So for now, i am grateful for this epiphany.
And whatever comes my way, let it come. : )
Optimism, the solution for every what-comes-next.
Cheerio~! ^_^
