Trust God, Once Again...

This is an account of what happened on 17/9/04.

I was doing the dreaded project work at the school library and I absent-mindedly left my EZ-link card at the library as a identification card to register the use of a computer. I left school without knowing my EZ-link card was still at the library. When I was boarding the the bus 74, I tapped my card as usual, but I heard the "tap" sound. I think it was too much of a coincidence too that my friend tapped his card at the same time and me. I didn't even bother to check the EZ card reader and it just didn't occur to me that I was without my ez-link card.

I alighted at my bus stop at sunset way to transfer to 184 or 75. When I alighted, I saw 184 right in front of me, I didn't bother to rush for the bus as it was leaving. I guessed I'll be taking 75 home. 75 came soon and I boarded bus. I tapped my wallet at the EZ- card scanner. Once, twice, thrice but to no avail. There just wasn't the "acknowledgement" tap sound. Then, it just occurred to me that I forgot to take my EZ-link card again. Sigh... and I was super broke. After all the money spent on class fund, prezzies and expenses all I had was a miserable twenty cents. Not even sufficient for a bus ticket. I felt disappointed that I could be so forgetful. I closed my eyes and prayed," OH God!!! Make a way for me!"

Following, I left my shocked, disappointed, embarrassed state and approached the driver. At that time, the lights were red and the bus was still kept at the bus bay.

I told the uncle in mandarin, "Uncle, I forgot to bring my card. Can you... (open the door for me?)"

Before I could finish my sentence, he interrupted me,
"It's ok. Sometimes people just are misfortunate. You get seated down."

"Thank you uncle, but I only have twenty cents with me."

"It's ok. You pay the twenty cents and I'll issue you a ticket. Otherwise, a bus inspector may scold you if you didnt have a ticket if he happens to come along this bus."

"Thank you, uncle. Thank you."

Imagine. If that bus driver didn't allow me to board the bus, I would be seriously seriously stranded on that bus stop. What I could do with 20 cents? And my nearest help would probably be my father who was at home, 30 mins away from my stop. I had no instant relief. I really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really want to thank God. I am filled with gratitude. Thank You Lord , for delivering me. Really, with my sincerest thanksgiving to Your name. Praise God for He is good, His love endures forever. Such a kind soul, that bus driver, filled with understanding. I always thought bus drivers were grumpy as they repeated their journey everyday, it would be highly likely they got bored and fed up. Too good to be true. It's a miracle. I can imagine myself at that bus stop cursing myself for being so forgetful and being bitter over such an issue. God is a God of miracles. Hallelujah. You rock my world. Just trust God and have faith that He will deliver. Arigato God for answering my prayers.

Dear Father in heaven, let everything that has breath praise You. You are wonderful, magnificent, glorious, kind, lovely and You work in mysterious ways I cannot see. I thank You for delivering me. Thank You for jenni, she made my day today. Thank God that I have sufficient money to fill my stomach. Thank God for everything. Bless me with Your eternal joy. In Jesus' most Holy, high, precious and sweetest name I pray. Amen.

Thought of the day : A true friend knows your worst yet still loves you.

Song stucked in my head:
I've finally found a reason for living. It's in giving every part of my heart to Him. In all that I do, every word that I that say, I would be giving my all just for Him.
We are the reason He gave His life, we are the reason that He suffered and died. To a world that was lost, He gave all He could give to show us the reason to live.
----Avalon (We are the reason)
