Have u ever had any of your love ones involved in accidents? especially major ones...Well, it wasn't a great day for me yesterday... bcoz, i had one...Yesterday night, "M"(one of my cousin) called to ask some stuff and later on.. she told me bout "E", a distance-in-name but close-in-relationship cousin of mine.. was involved in an accident last Sunday (8.06.2008)...My 1st reaction was " WHAT?? WHO??!! " n she repeated it and seriously, I was terribly shocked, man...She was attending a college/class trip.. n well, they travelled in a van.. drove by a college boy.. or I should say.. her fren.. hehe.. i guess.. to cut the story short.. the van over turn... (guess u know what that means... it's not a minor accident)..According to M.. E's got her arm's skin & flesh stripped off.. i'm not sure on which part, but, i noe it sure is serious... Upon arrival at the hospital, the doctor have to remove the glass pieces from her wound.. & transfer some flesh from her tigh.. to replace the flesh stripped off at her arm. Now you see how serious it is.. When I heard this.. I had goosebumps immediately.. N I was seriously heartbroken...M's dad went to visit E on Thursday morning.. n he says he still can see the bones of her arm.. *OUCH*... that's so arghh... painful... I was thinking, after the operation, the bones still visible? how bad was it b4 the accident then? I wanted to giv her a visit but M said she wasn't sure if E's been discharged..So, I gave E's direct cousin "D" a call... n when I ask if D knows bout E's accident.. he gave me the same reaction as i'd given to M... IMMEDIATELY.. i was wondering.. WHY even D didn't know??? Isn't that wierd?Then.. I gave M a call again.. n she says that the reason she knows is bcoz E's dad called M's dad for hospital directions.. or else.. she wouldn't have know either.. Well, I think that explains smth.. From a patient's point-of view... Will she wanna entertain visitors at this time where she has to deal with the pain.. & emotions...??? Will she?? NO!! What does she needs most now? Rest & personal time... I've got it... that explains y no 1 knows about it .. Well done to her dad! I would say..But then, that's a headache too.. I'm so worry about her.. but then.. I can't visit her coz I have to assume I do not know.. as M wasn't suppose to spread this news i guess.. n then.. this incident holds me throughout the night.. I wasn't feeling right.. I knew E's condition.. but I have to pretend i didn't noe.. I can't visit her in hosp... ARGHH.... I din noe what to do.. *suffering*N so, I gave up thinking n thinking.. right b4 i went to bed, I said a prayer.. I cried out to Lord to hint me what can I do to console E... I was totally depressed.. It's so disturbing when u can't do anyth when u noe u should.. I prayed n prayed.. asking God for peace in me.. n guide me thru..Today.. morning & noon was as usual.. nth much happened.. except me kept thinking n worrying E.. around d' afternoon.. i prayed again.. SUDDENLY, a voice spoke to me... "Remember what sms did you receive during Easter??"
Of coz I rmb... coz the fwd msg was kind of serious n well, not the WISHING type.. u noe? very serious kind.. n I was thinking.. y would ppl send such msg on Easter..it's so wierd la.. haha.. but i did not delete it anyway..I don't know y i did not.. but, hehehe.. Thank God I did NOt..
So, i picked my hp immediately.. n modified the content(see below)... deleted Happy Easter, remained the part in yellow n added the part in green... This was how my msg went:-
"Sometimes, God breaks our spirit to save our soul.
Sometimes, He breaks our heart to make us whole.
Sometimes, He sends us failure so we'll value success.
Sometimes, He sends us illness so we grow stronger.
Sometimes, he takes "EVERYTHING" away from us so we can learn the value of "EVERTHING" we have."
At times, God send us challenges in order to make us grow stronger spiritually. No matter what happens, He's planning a path for you, a greater path far beyond your imagination.
Don't let your faith stumble...Trust Him, He'll bring you through..
Remember.. HE IS GOD!!! :)
Lotsa Love,
Samantha Lau.
After I send that sms to E, only then I was doubting.. Was it really God who prompt me to send? hmm.. She was in an accident wor.. there's a possibility that her hp might go crushed.. or malfunction.. But well.. I'll jz leave it to God.. That's the max support I can giv.. I thought..
While I was doubting... My hp goes "beep beep"... my msg ringtone sounded.. then I saw... FROM E..
" Thanks for your concern, I'm OK. =)"
IMMEDIATELY.. I know.. it was GOD who prompt me.. n i gain peace in me immediately... God answered my pray.. HE IS INDEED GOD..
There's a reason God prompt me to send this msg...mayb E really needed spiritual help at that point of time.. We nvr know... but God knows.. He answers prays unique ways... hehe.. So, I'm sure E, He's watching over u!! Watching over ur family.. n all His children.. Have faith in HIM... bcoz.. HE IS GOD!!!
PS readers: Pls keep E in ur pray.. Physical & Mental Strength to recover..
(I'm sure God noes who E is.. I jz can't put her name here.. )
