*OldManKelTan* almost HoMe...
almost home... not to my CCK home, but my eternal home before the throne of the Father... yesterday was my 2nd last day at work, my colleague wanted to gimme a seafood dinner treat. 100m after we left the factory, a tractor in front of us suddenly u-turned, causing my colleague to swerve his car to the right. but given tt sudden u-turn, our car had no chance of escaping from a crash. the front left of the car was badly dented, i bumped my head on the car roof as a result of the impact and suffering from a bad stiff neck now.
the 1st thing i thot of when the car & the tractor had stopped was "thank You God for preserving my life." can u imagine, the impact was on the left side. if my colleague had sped yesterday to overtake the tractor, the big machine might have crash directly into the left side of the car instead of just the front left. the front passenger seat was perfectly intact after the accident. hence apart from the bump, i had no other injuries. Thank God for that.
one thing is the sovereignty of God over my life. my life is so fragile; it can be taken away any moment, but He chose to let me live to type this entry. people often say, "i m in control of my own life..." i seriously wonder, after this accident, how true is that. i, oldmankeltan, m certainly NOT in control of my life; i can't. in a sense, my colleague was the driver, i m at his mercy (so to speak), the tractor driver who u-turned his machine, could've been the one taking my life from me (so to speak again), but it is God who truly has the power to give & take my life. 5km/h faster & i would've been home, but He wills tt i stay in the world longer. therefore i live.
oh, by the way, i've just ended my IA in JB!!! yippee!!!
