Transformers experience gone wrong

So I woke up this morning around 10am with a plan. I was going to go to the Stocklands to buy some face masks for the games tonight for Bible Study. I was going to go to the shops, get the masks and go home. Then I was going to catch up on my bible readind, do some cleaning and try and find my camera that ha been missing for about a month now.

So I had a plan for the day....

On my way to Stocklands I had a car accident... (MY FIRST REAL CAR ACCIDENT) totally not my fault! I was driving behind a blue toyota carolla and then the car in front of me veared to the left (not indicating) and so I continued driving forward. Then next thing I know the car u-turns into the top left side of my car, (I BEEP THE HORN) and then next thing I know the impact of the car causes me to end up on the other side of the road driving over the side walk and kerb. Then I hear these noises coming from the car, I was able to get the car back to the other side of the road but totally damaged.. Thank God I came out of that accident without any injuries, just really shaken up and some chest pains. Can't say the same for my dads car. However I would like to know why the airbags didn't pop out! Hrmm... The other driver gave a totally different story to the other police officer. The lady said she was doing to turn right into the driveway.. but why did she have to veer all the way to the left before turning into the driveway without signalling?? Doesn't make sense. But the police officer I gave my statement to, said it wasn't my fault. So just have to wait to call the police station at 6pm to get the incident number etc. My dad was pretty calm about it, which was good. Before I left to go to shops my dad and I had a talk about potential leaders of the youth to lead certain areas like evangelism, worship etc.. which was nice also shared to him how my bible study group is going and stuff.

I've sorta learnt from this experience that accidents do happen. They can't always be prevented. Even in this traumatic experience for me, God reminded me that I can plan where I'm going to go, I can plan the journey to my destination in life,love, career etc. But it will not always be a smooth ride, there will be obstacles along the way, sometimes they might just come out of the blue, but He will always be there to protect me from harm.

I have a great PROTECTOR!

Twenty Two and One Day

Hi Yan!

I think you're the only one that really reads my blogs here. (I'm so unpopular) HAHA
Thanks for the flowers again! They are my fav!

I'm starting a soup diet for this week hopefully I'll drop a dress size by Saturday for the wedding! =) Which I highly doubt. But I will continue with the soup diet! What brought this about? That suprise bushwalk Joy, Roslyn and Aileen gave me for my birthday. I actually thought they were going to take my horse riding! I was looking forward to it! But hey the bushwalk was fun! Watching Roslyn stack it in the first 5mins, watching joy stack it down a a flowing waterfall/river... HAHA. *Remembers the moment*

BTW! What colour are we wearing? MIDNIGHT BLUE? Still haven't found a dress yet. However I saw a purple one today that was NICE! Really liked it.. but don't really want to wear purple.. but if I don't find a midnight blue one, let's do purple? It's easy for you! You're a guy! BUT hey! If you're my date, you gotta promise that Eugene doesn't make an appearance. But it was nice for Eugene to make a late appearance on my birthday.

Anyways.. okay so Roslyn slept over last night we watched two movies and by the time it finished it was about 3am, so Roslyn slept over! YAY! Then we woke up at 11am.. when I was suppose to wake up at 8am to study for my exam tomorrow.

OH MY!.. My exam... haven't studied one bit! My books are still on the bed from this morning.. What on earth did I do today.. it's 7pm right now..

Meanwhile, I'm quite annoyed that my bestfriend wasn't here for my birthday, didn't even greet me on my birthday and still hasn't greeted me for my birthday. So as a resort I deleted the majority of his pictures with me on my facebook!!!! TAKE THAT!!

Anyways... I should shower... and start studying..

The first time I heard this song was when Ate Daisy sang it at the Christmas party/graduation of the older Yd Leaders back in 2008. It was really encouraging. I love the theme of this song, about the desire not to give up, to never say die even though you've been through the "same old" things over and over again.

The message of this song is so timely for me right now. As there have been several things arising once again that have been oh so familiar. Yet when I reflect back on those times. God has brought me through it. I won't question, I won't doubt that yet again in my present circumstances my God will be there and will see me through.

Many times I often think, it's just so much easier to quit, to give up on certain things, goals, dreams and people. BUT then I realise, where is the challenge in that? How can one grow without any challenges? So I've come to accept that life for me will always present certain challenges I'm meant to overcome together with Him. I've just got to keep my head up and press on toward the goal. I won't pretend that it'll be easy. But at least I know that at the end God won't fail me. He know's the result at the end. Because He has seen the bigger picture.

*SONG LYRICS*

Dark is the night
I can weather the storm
Never say die
I've been down this road before

I'll never quit
I'll never lay down
See I promised myself I would never let me down

(chorus)
So I'll never give up
Never give in
Never let a ray of doubt slip in
And if I fall
I'll never fade
I'll just get up and try again
Never lose hope
Never lose faith
There's much too much at stake
Upon myself I must depend
I'm not looking for a place ashore
I'm gonna win

Won't stop me now
There's still a ways to go
Some way somehow
Whatever it takes I know

I'll never quit
I'll never go down
I'll make sure they remember my name 100 years from now

(chorus)

When it's all said and done
My once in a lifetime won't be back again
Now is the time, for me to stand
Here is my chance, that's why i

(chorus)
