NO FEAR! God is with us!
wow wee...this past week has been traumatic, tiring, crazy, but AMAZING week for me!! haha...so contradictory right? but well, i guess sometimes it is only when our lives are in 'turmoil' that we see clearly the Lord's hands working in our midst....
Anywyas, well, just a brief summary of what happened in the past week...
Actually, I havent started work since our awesom camp ended..hee hee..however, I havent really been resting much and have been feeling quite physically drained cos have been bringing Jake all around. hee..but had fun though! (realised that not only working can drain us...even playing too much can drain us too hee)..well..ayways, all was just plain play and fun from Mon to Thurs...until Fri night, when the accident took place...
I think many of you have heard my accident story before (right DIA? hee) so I shall not repeat the details anyways..yeah..the car accident happened on Fri and I made an accident report at IDAC (an independent authority) on Sat morning and the person in charge explained to me all the details about how this sort things work and she said if the insurance co. deemed that it's 50-50% fault, I will have to fork our 525 bucks and our premiums will go up next year...and when i asked her the chances of us 'winning' the case, she said that this kinda case is a borderline case...cos I was the back car and back cars are usually faulted for accidents...so the chances of the insurance co. faulting the taxi driver alone are not very high....
though i may appear fine to some of u on sat....i was actually very disturbed by e whole incident as firstly, the car belongs to my Dad and 2ndly, inconvenience will follow if the car has to be at the workshop for repairs for a few days , thirdly, we will have to pay a few hundred bucks if the insurance co. deemed that it's both parties' fault and lastly there will be negative consequences pertaining to my dad's car insurance (like he will lose his "No car accident" discounts on the insurance premiums and stuff like that...I just felt so innocent and helpless about the whole incident....I mean how am I to expect that a car will just appear out of nowhere when I was happily driving in my own lane....I felt really down and terrrible...and to make things worse..i realised i started to develop a phobia....when i was in my dad's car the next day(sat)...i kept watching out for cars all over the place and kept screaming at my dad to wtach out...and since the accident, I havent been driving the car...but well...the only good thing is that my dad and mum didn't really nag at me about the accident!!! which was really shocking cos my mum is forever worried about me driving on the roads....
Anyways, the next day (sat nite), before going to bed, I was reading the book of Joshua..and the Lord was telling Joshua to be STRONG and COURAGEOUS to lead the poeple to cross the Jordan River to inherit the land...and not to be terrified or discourage, cos the Lord will be with him wherever he went..He told Joshua to be STRONG and COURAGEOUS 3 times!! and as I was readin..the words of Pastor Elisha (camp speaker) rang in my head too..that God did not give us a spirit of fear but a spirit of power, love, sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7) ..and i felt that the message was so clear from the Lord. He was telling me no to be fearful about what is going to happen next and also to be courageous enough to drive on the roads again (hee..may sound funny but this is really what the word spoke to me!)...that He's always with me so why should i FEAR? The only one i should FEAR is the Lord and Him alone....We can be strong and courageous if we depend on the Lord!
so well..it was really amazing cos I did not plan to read the book of Joshua that nite but i was just flipping thru the bible and the page simply landed on the book of Joshua...
So well, i tot, ok no point worrying so much about the incident..just pray and commit the whole incident unto the Lord...think many of u prayed for me too! thanks dearies!......and anyways...yesterday (Tuesday), the insurance guy called Jake and told him to email him a detailed write-up of how the accident occured..and he emailed the guy last nite.....He also told me to send him pictures of the car accident..and I did...
and this morning..my dad received a call from the insurance guy! He said that they have assessed the facts and have concluded that 90% of the fault is on the taxi driver...which means that I don't have to pay the 525 bucks and on top of that, they are going to give us a car for 3 days while our car is at the work shop for free!!! when i heard that, the first thing i said was Praise God! I knew that the Lord's hands have been on this whole incident. To me, this is a MIRACLE. Cos I was the back car and it was kinda expected the insurance co. to put 50% of the fault on us..
I guess this incident has once again reminded me to submit fully unto Jesus....He is the one who has died on the cross and gave us life again..He is the one who has saved us by grace....He is our almighty King! Whom shall we fear but Him?
Just like what Pastor Elisha said...we have to have faith when praying and EXPECT our miracle..we have to EXPECT it..a faithless prayer equates no prayer.....Like what Esther said in her sms, PUSH!! Pray Until Something Happens!!! and this accident is a clear testimony! So peeps...let's continue to PRAY for Solid Rock Live..and EXPECT a miracle!!!!
