When you are in danger, what would you think about?
Today, my car got out of control as I tried to merge from Stoney onto Symons Valley Road, since I stepped on my break a little too hard. It started zigzagging. Within a few seconds, these things came in my mind:
1. 神啊!死火! (God, oh no!)
2. I gotta switch my gear to neutral. (And I did it.)
3. If my car slid to the right, it would go off the side and I wouldn't be able to get back up without a tow truck.
4. If my car slid to the left, I would crash into (or be crashed by) the cars on Stoney.
5. If my car kept zigzagging in the middle area (the so-called "safety-zone"), my car would go into the exit pole.
6. I AM NOT READY TO GO TO HEAVEN YET!
After these thoughts, my car spun out, and I finally screamed, " 神啊! (OH LORD!)" The moment after my exclamation, my car stopped. Where did my car end up? Oh, just somewhere in the safety zone. I was far from the exit pole. No harm done. I just switched my gear back to drive and steered the car to the right direction again. I arrived at my workplace 1/2 hour early.
When I said, "I am not ready to go to heaven yet!" I mean it wholeheartedly. Seriously, if someone asks me if I am ready to go to heaven in the next second or the next day or a few months down the row, I'd still give the same answer. Can't foretell my thoughts in a few years though. I know being in Heaven and seeing God face-to-face is a wonderful thing, and I love God. But, I do love my life, and I do want to live it to the greatest potential before I see the Lord. There are still many things I want to accomplish (for God, for myself and for others, whether I know them or not). Anyways, God knows my desires and I'm certain He will satisfy them as long as I seek Him first.
Praise the Lord that:
1. I am safe and sound.
2. I am a calm person and am able to keep things under control.
Nevertheless, I hope everyone would drive with caution in this terrible weather. Don't forget to pray for safety!
