Accidents

I just encountered two accidents in one week from last week. Thank God I was not the subject of the accidents, but it's a little shocking to encounter twice in a week.

The first accident was when I saw a woman fainted in the lady's locker room in my gym. On Wednesday after swimming, I was waiting on the line for the shower. I saw the Chinese woman standing normally by the door of the steam room. After only few minutes when I finished my shower, people were a little panic because that woman was lying on the ground and the women said she'd fainted . They called the ambulence and she was sent to the hospital afterwards. I helped call her family phone since she was Chinese, but no one answered. It was the first time I'd seen someone was unconscious.

On Friday night when I was waiting for the bus on the bus stop, I saw a minivan driving in normal speed to past to the intersection with the green light, but it crashed to another minivan with a loud "psshh!!!", which was horizontally on the other side of the intersection. There were a lot of pedestrians by the side of the crash of two minivans. the minivan which was being crashed was able to move to the side, but the minivan which crashed the other one just stopped there, but the driver did not came out of the car as more people were curiously looking inside the car to see if he got hurt. (I think he/she did) It was also the first car crash that I actually seen almost without a blink of an eye. I was startled and was in a little even when I was riding the bus home.

Before these two accidents happen, everything seemed to run normally. Who would've thought the next minute, something unexpected or bad would happen? I'm sure the Chinese woman and the drivers did not expect the accident to happen to them either. But it happened so quickly. Even though usually when accidents do happen, mostly the bystanders would try to help with the situation, but I was wondering, how much can they help them with? Maybe I'm not a person who have seen a lot of these accidents happen before me very often, and maybe these seemed to be minor accidents, but it made me wonder, how could we predict them? Or what if the situation is much worst, like probably to the point of death? What can the subjects do? Or to what extent can people, even doctors or nurses can help them? What if these life-and-death accidents happen to you or me, how would you might've felt? How much can you do about it? To me I wouldn't know much. I probaly felt scared and shocked, and even nothing if I'm unconscious. But what I know is that I would put it into God's hand, or even have more peace, which I probably wouldn't have had if I never believe.

I pray for the woman and the drivers, that they would recover from the accidents.

I attended a B/S wedding this morning. It was very cold today, but it was good. The choir did well too. Lol.

Psalm 23:4 - "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadows of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; You rod and staff, they comfort me."
