an assault

ok i'm being serious now. this is NOT my month.
u know about the car crash. the patient who had to be sent to the hospital via ambulance cos he claimed he couldn't move his legs.
then yesterday. my iphone got wet and died. and then! my hairdyer died while trying to revive the phone.

man this is really not my month. but i thank God that even though my throat is going and i feel like i'm gonna fall sick, that he is still keeping me and my family safe. i thank God that despite all this crap that happens he reassures me that he still loves me.

i recall "there is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy dwelling places of the Most High. God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved. God will help her when the morning dawns" Ps46:4-5.

isn't it great? when the morning dawns. so all i have to do is wait. i'm sure He'll deliver just in time. just need to hang on. hang in there. keep on keeping on.

since...

rental cars are expensive. so very very expensive. thank God for C&S who lent me their nifty HondaJazz for the week. :) I think I really prefer manual cars, even if automatic cars are that much more convenient.

have been struggling slightly this month. post-crash and a few rather unpleasant incidents at work have caused me to be somewhat apprehensive and irritated...
but you know what they say about trials. they do bring you closer to God. :) realising more and more the frailty of humanity. depravity. and the righteousness of Christ. plus the need i have for Him that i often am oblivious to. so am willing me to rejoice in all circumstances. :) to trust in an infinitely good God. infinitely good.

my prayer today-- the one AW Tozer in The Pursuit of God wrote:
"Lord teach me to listen. The times are noisy and my ears are weary with the thousand racous sounds which continuously assault them. Give me the spirit of the boy Samuel when he said to Thee, speak, for Thy servant heareth. Let me hear Thee speaking in my heart. Let me get used to the sound of Thy voice, that its tones may be familiar when the sounds of earth die away and the only sound will be the music of Thy speaking voice. Amen"

hang in there.

fresh

fresh from the crash.
about 1 week ago now a taxi ploughed into the passenger side of my car. thing is, i saw him in the small lane. then because he slowed down, assumed he would stop since it was my right of way. see how bad wrong assumptions can be? luckily i escaped with only like minor whiplash and back strain,. which is more than i can say for poor kye. or lmg. my poor cupcakecar. should get it back by the end of the month though. hmm...

the whole hospital and ambulance experience is another story for another day. but you know, funny thing was i didn't really feel anything when it happened. maybe like wat my boss and his wife says, sometimes the shock gets u through the hardest bits.

so i was kinda traumatised. but you know. i had faith that i was gonna be ok. and i am! ;) praise God for protecting me. cos there were so many other things tat could have gone wrong. and so many other things i couldve hit. but u know, and i'm not joking here. when i got hit and drifted, everything seemed to be moving in slow motion such that i could control it. for a second anyway before i kinda spun around and my engine stalled. hahaha

one thing good that resulted then was tat then dad flew over to check i was still intact and i managed to hang with him for another weekend again! heeheehee. always good to have family around. oh and also i took it as an excuse to get masages almost every day! :) heeheeehee.. not sure why i'm still so tight and sore though? hmm...

now today. i'm fresh from my first soccer game! :) not one that i played in though, but one i was physio for. soccer club i worked for was today was complete with the enigmatic manager with an italian name, the black fedora and scary ringtone! oOh! and i learnt something. somethingS really.
1) i like guys better when they're clothed. hugely more attractive
2) i'm not sure but... is it a manly thing to cuss and spit? gross!
3) talent is hugely sexy. hugely. sexy.

was wondering if there would be many injuries but there really werent any. i did... kinda prophylactic taping and rubbing so i smell like deep minty heat. and sprayed a bruise from some random collsion.
the other team weren't so lucky. they had a small head concussion. but no matter. silly soccer header player staggered on to the field to play on anyway. game tied at 3-3 for your info.

and next week will be my next game. wonder how tat will go. hmm... i'll update soon. till then. nitesy!
