Today is just fun! The first time I get to take the car and go shopping on my own in Johor! That is a big advancement for me! But then someone has to come and rain on my parade! (Although it did rain today and was cloudy the whole day through!) This is what happened, I was driving cautiously out to the mall when a malay guy in his old beat down Proton Wira honk and overtook me! I was driving at 60 km/h at the small road and he was angry and pissy! Well that was fine with me! When he overtook and honked at me, I didnt bother and continue driving at my own speed! He wind down his window and give me the "universal sign language" but I didn't bother either, I continued driving and he decided to stop by the side of the road and waited for me to passed by, the moment I passed by he honked so loud and scolded something I couldn't hear and then overtook in front of me nearly causing me to be thrown off-road! I realized at that moment I was phased with the situation of a road bully! I do not want to fight back instead I turn on my gospel music and calmly drove towards my destination! When he realized that I am not going to retaliate or fight back or pick up speed he droves away! I believed he either felt like a winner or an idiot BUT to the eyes of everybody including mine - HE IS JUST AN IDIOT!
I do not want to fight back or get angry at this very small matter! What is the point? I knew that he is doing this because I am a lady driver and this is the first time I encountered such people! And I remember the words from the movie "Evan Almighty"
If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?
I prayed for patience, love, understanding and maturity! So this is what that comes to mind! God has given me the opportunity to be patient and to mature! I am definately going to take it! I was angry at that time BUT I know its not worth it! What would I gain if I won? What good will I have if I fought back? Is there a medal for it or I will be full of sin and awareness that if I fought back I will only unleashed venomous words that he most probably never going to hear! After seeing the world I come to realize that we are nothing BUT a small mortal! The world is indeed just too big for this little girl BUT nonetheless, I will only live for happiness and to care for the people in my life! These people were never exposed and maybe never got the chance to see how big this world is! Their world has become so small as it evolved around themselves! Why do I need to stress and get angry after all the true God - Jesus Christ will see and hear what our actions and words will be! Forgive! It is not for the good of others but for our own self! Have a cheerios day! Muacks!
