~Yet Another Close Shave With Death~ YOLO!~ Throwback (20151111) Give Thanks!~

And so like every other Wednesday after the Amway English meeting, I would ride my bike home from Bayan Lepas back to Tanjung Bungah, just that it was drizzling tonight which sometimes do happen. And like most times I would choose to travel via the Mt.Erskine Road but instead of going through the Vale Of Tempe ( winding road ) I would turn into one of the side roads ( Persiaran Greenhill going towards Evergreen Road ). But today something out of the norm happened.

  As I was approaching Penang Chinese Girls Highschool ( PCGHS a.k.a. Peng Hwa ), a vision flashed across my mind - where some may refer to as premonition,  which of course is not out of the norm as I do realize this is one of the ways how the Holy Spirit communicates with me. I saw myself going straight via the main road instead of the usual route which peaked my curiosity. I slowed down from the already slower than normal speed due to the drizzle ( which is more slippery than a heavy down pour ).

  As I stopped at the traffic lights - it was red ( towards main road ), but the lane on my left, turning towards left ( the usual Mt.Erskine Road route I travelled ) was green. As I heard a loud bang, lo and behold 2 young man both rider and pillion rider were on the floor. The bike they were on had just skidded. Were it not for the warning I could have rammed into them and who knows what might have happened.

  This of course reminded me of 2 different occassions, where one accident was averted but another I was seriously injured as I recalled when I showed my bike to the foreman he mentioned that one of my bike tires had already turned into a figure of eight. It all happened because I doubted, that's what it means by delayed obedience is disobedience which of course some might understand. All scenarios there were of course my experiencing of either open visions or close visions of angelic activities. These two occurences are of course stories for some other time, lol!~

  The reason I write this is to first and foremost, remind myself how great God is and also 'pen' down his goodness ( bless the Lord O my soul, and forget not His benefits ), and to glorify Him for He has always been good to me.

  At times like these, similar verse as below pops into mind:

  For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul? ( Mark 8:36 )

  As I state the above, I do not say money is unimportant or we shouldn't work as the Word aptly puts it:

For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either. ( 2 Thes 3:10 )

  What I do want to convey is that life is a fleeting vapour, like the grass and flowers in the field, glorious as they may be, here today yet gone tomorrow. Love always, cherish the people around us, live life to the fullest without any regrets, strife for excellence, embrace destiny, go beyond the extra mile in order to achieve beyond our limitations. More like a reminder to myself, lol!~

"Pricey a commodity can be,
Like silver or gold
Yet more priceless still is Wisdom,
As commodity is not He,
But a Person that dwelleth within me"
