The ragged pieces of ideas and thoughts of my attempt to live a life as a contemporary monastic in the urban city of Singapore..
I was on my way to the market when I asked God in the car yesterday what the last 5 signs relating to cars and accidents he has shown me meant? Is it for me to STOP or to SLOW down? God showed me the last sign just the night before where he woke me to go watch the video of the
Ferrari and Taxi accident on Youtube which I never bothered to see when it was sent to me.
At the market, I saw an egg and on its shell, its written SLOW. I go "what the ..." and showed it to Mag. I took it and turned it around and it's actually a label MO19.
God answered and said "SLOW".
I believe God wants me (or us) to slow down for the conference this weekend. He wants room to do something. God is amazing and speaks so clearly to His people. Many people have asked me to slow down but a word from Heaven makes the most lasting difference.
In case you are interested, the 5 signs were..
1: Last week, Mag complaining I've been maintaining too small a gap to the car in front. I normally don't do that.
2: That tuesday, I drove passed a red light on a pedestrian crossing only to be alerted by an angry pedestrian who hit the back of my car with a shopping bag. I apologized and he calmed down.
3: Thursday, my brother in law shared of his friend who's involve in a car accident where life was lost and the hanging sense of guilt of being responsible.
4: Sunday night on the way to Johor, I knocked a car in front but she was strangely avoiding further investigation by pulling over even though I pursued taking responsibility.
5: Wednesday night, being woken up to watch an accident where slowing down can save my life.
