Thankful Instead of Grumbling/Complaning....(I learned the hard way)!

I was very dissapointed and pissed on Saturday night.

My car hit by another car from the back. Ouch! And you know what? He told my dad that he won't bear all but only abit. Mind him, the first thing he checked was his 'baby' car (Toyota). and he said he also kena. Darn! Whose fault now? Somemore he blamed me that I brake out of sudden..
This is how it happened.....
The 'Pro' driver was in front was getting into my lane. Earlier, I was trying to cut out and I had my signal on at the time. This Pro driver (don't know how smart is he) don't allow me to go out, passed right in front of me and cut into my lane (on his right). Out of the sudden, he braked. Of course I braked as well, if not sure kena 'langgar'. Mana tau, from the back....he gave me a shocked. I was feeling moody, and on my way to SS2 (Evangel and Salvation bookstores).
But somehow rather I found peace when I talked to that man.. I can even laughed in the car....because I was praying in tongue, and talking to God before this accident happened.
I managed to drive the destination did some shopping for Christmas gifts (total spent more than RM200) but couldn't find any good spiritual books for my Junior except one book by Gospel of Light in Salvation but it's expensive. Never mind, I will look again, and pray about it. Wonder where is the library in DUMC.. must find it out!
After buying food for mom, I drove all the way back but still my heart couldnt settle down thinking that I need to spend money to fix again.... even though dad always offer to pay this and that.. I felt shameful as I have been working for more than 2 years but couldn't even pay for my car to get fixed. The last time was my dad who helped me to pay.. and it costs more than RM2k. I know I was hopeless..
But my curiousity started to arise, I have been giving a lot to God but when can I get the return? I was selfish and hoping that God will bless me more. And my evil mind telling me a lot of negative things. I was quite frustrated and angry as well when my mom asked me to open the car boot because I couldn't close it back.
That means that I have to drive in this condition to DUMC the next day. Mom told me that dad told her that that guy who banged my car only can pay not full. I was mad at him..obviously.....Why this happened before my transfer of membership? So many not so good things getting in my way.
I cried and asked God for help.......Is this spiritual warfare? I found that I was hopeless in this kind of situation (I learned my lesson). I was giving up not to go the next day because my good friends will not be coming. But I set my alarm clock.
The next day, dad managed to fixed my car a bit (look a bit better from yesterday). I went, met other members there. Everything turned out fine, and the best part! Lee Sin and Eunice came. I thought they won't come because Lee Sin at first said not interested to watch the fund raising movie tix in One U. I thought they won't come. Seeing other members baptized and my beloved prayer partner on stage. Felt the joy in them! Witnessed a good testimonial and great sermon by Pastor Nicholas Choo from Sg.
After church, Uncle William called to ask me to join him for lunch :) But I decided to go back to eat with mom. Uncle bought 3 packet of carrot cakes for me. Met Rachael, she wished me. I felt sorry but I know mom is okay. I thank God for answering my desperate cries....
I felt blessed and confessed my sins to Him during worship. Thank God.
Now, I understand how important is it to cry out to Him everyday, if not I will stray away very fast....Run away from temptations. Yes, it's true!
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. JAMES 4:7 NIV
