ok this is the time time that i 'fear' of flight delay or cancelled.. i know i should be concerned of being in taiwan in midst of my great dear friend - typhoon Morakot 莫拉克 (which means "emerald" in Thai) who is really strong and a possible Grade15 at its strongest.. but at least if i'm there in taiwan, i'd know what to do, not being trapped at home now..yet, no news of flight delay or cancellation... flight will still proceed as normal.. perhaps cos morakot is only expected to onboard mainland on 8aug 0500hrs (wind force now is already strong at Grade10 at seashore places and Grade7 at taipei city!)...
sigh.. i really wonder if it's abt me.. my dear friend just want to demostrate her great powers in front of me.. i mean, there're always typhoons in taiwan irregardless of my visit, but every time i visit during this season, they just have to be a real strong typhoon with such power to intimidate/threaten people.. *gosh, they are really like to show-off~*
with my laptop and tvbs news on tv at this early hour (7am), i'm really trying to track this typhoon's update.. and now, the mrt in taipei city has malfunctioned.. oh great.. i tell you, when typhoon comes, transportation is a REAL concern and now even the mrt is down.. i wonder if it'll be ok when i arrive later today or when morakot arrives tmr...
whatever.. the more i dwell, the deeper i sink.. so by faith, i will trust my God for all things is to come. maybe it's also good if i stay in my hello-kitty room to chill out with lotsa titbits.. come'on, we are all living by faith every day - be it trusting the lift to move up n down, crossing the roads with faith that most motorists will obey the traffic rules.. see, so i will live by faith to trust my God to provide and arrange all that is to come! AMEN!
**********
i thank God for His protection- He really plans EVERY step of my life into every DETAILS~!
just before i reached airport, my friend who is also boarding the same flight, called to inform flight re-timed due to typhoon. trust me, i kinda expected it but still, cant deny my disappointment..
i know it's dangerous with a grade 12 typhoon (it grew stronger in that past 3hrs).. but .. remember last yr? i was so-close-yet-so-far with another typhoon? now.. i only can say, God really protects me despite my 'rebellious passion' to get near strong typhoon.. He only allows me to be near moderate typhoon, below grade5.. *this is one blessing which i really have to learn to appreciate* gonna miss this strong friend of mine, even though it's slow moving across taiwan *waiting and looking for me?*..
had to make some informative calls and smses to my taiwan friends on this delay, and also that house-owner whose rooms i'm renting.. surprisingly he's VERY NICE over the phone this time, with patience and concern! he even tried to have small chat to assure me he'll wait wait for me?! *hmm..that does sound weird* but anyway, he'll pick us from airport at 0130hrs later tonight when my flight arrives in taipei..*is this a 'make-it-up'?* anyway, with the disappointment of missing my good friend, i really dun have much thoughts to skepticism..
see, people, i told you dont need to worry about me.. i know everything will be well taken care of.. just walk on and trust the Lord :)
and btw, did i tell you i bought the travel insurance VERY LAST MINUTE yesterday (just suddenly have the feeling i should though i normally wont buy travel insurance).. and now cos of this last minute coverage, i can claim against this more than 6hrs flight delay~ :)
well, sometimes, in fact most of the time, J, you just have to listen and trust the Holy Spirit who impresses your heart and guides your way! cant help feeling so close to this verse..
Prov 19:21
Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails.
箴 言 19:21
人 心 多 有 計 謀 ； 惟 有 耶 和 華 的 籌 算 才 能 立 定 。
