Tonight I can sleep much better because first of all, I know I am still alive and secondly, I decided to just bathe all my pets though I am very drained physically.
I cannot thank God enough for saving me from serious injuries or death yet again. As I was so tired after the Youth Ministry's Mission Team preparation and having changed into a formal outfit at home, I decided to just close my eyes to rest while I was in the taxi to Orchard Hotel for the Methodist Missions Society's 20th Anniversary Banquet.
Along the Pan Island Expressway ("PIE") near Catholic Junior College, I was awoken abruptly when I could feel the taxi making a swerve suddenly. Before that there was a long honk! I knew it was going to hit the railings after mounting the kerb. It did scrape the whole left side of the cab but the driver was fast enough to swerve back onto the road.
All I knew when I opened my eyes was this Mercedes in front of the taxi. The car did not stop and drove on but the taxi driver and I managed to record down the number plate. After taking some pictures of the damages with his handphone camera, the taxi driver decided to go on with the journey as there was nothing he could do. He asked for my particulars and I readily gave him should there be an investigation being conducted at a later date.
My neck is still a little sore. If it is still bad tomorrow, I will probably go to the hospital's outpatient clinic to have it checked when I go there to collect some more medication for my chest pain.
Looks like I can never break my affiliation with hospitals. I thought I would be able to avoid them after my last surgery in early July. Anyway, thank God for His grace and mercy again.
I also want to praise Him for sustaining me through the day - being in church the whole day and after that to the banquet. I was very tired as I stayed up to watch the Presidential Election result. I am sad that the person I voted for did not win. Anyway, I woke up at 7.00am but as I was still tired, I laid in bed till 7.45am.
As much as there was an inertia, I told myself I needed to wake up as it is important to worship God with the rest of my brothers and sisters-in-Christ in church. Well, from then on, it was just persevering till now.
I have learnt one thing from the above-mentioned. If I know the next day I am to be in church to worship God and also being involved in ministries, then it is my responsibility and discipline to sleep early so that the next day I do not need to battle against tiredness. That would mean forgoing the urge to stay up watching events like the election results.
I was rebuked, in a sense, as it speaks a lot about my desire to worship God. If He is such a BIG deal in my life, then other big events around me will still be small compared to Him.
Well, I will start from next week onwards by making sure I have ample rest.
Alright, I cannot write further as my brains are not working well.
Have a blessed short week, everyone! Good night! :)
