If I had a time machine....

As I was driving home one day after work, my mind wandered off and suddenly I came across this strange question: What if I found a time machine and it can only be used once only, what would I do with it?



They actually sell this in eBay...




Awesome~


I want one..:P

Here I was given an opportunity to change something in my life and I asked myself what would that be.How about you?If you were given the same time machine like me, what would you change in your life?To make it more specific, this time machine is only able to travel time as long as you exist in this world which means you cannot go back to 10,000 BC (if there was such a thing..) and witness the primal life back then.So we can only travel back to a certain point of time when we exist, which point of time would you want to go back? Would you want to change something in your life that would make a difference in your life afterwards? Would you plan to save your relationship with your first love?Or would you try to save your parents that has been killed in an accident?Or would you buy 4D to win a whole load of cash?


Would you try to win a game of basketball championship when you knew you can make a difference in the scores?Would you turn back time to score for your major examinations?10A's anyone for SPM?=) Or would you go back to the time when you are about to make a huge decision in life?Be it marrying your girlfriend, furthering your studies, which course should you be taking, which job would you end up in, and etc.


I gave some thought about it and wonder which point of time do I want myself to travel to. It came upon me that I could not think of any point of time which interests me to travel to.The best time I would probably travel back would be the time I was watching Linkin Park live in concert at Stadium Merdeka 3 years ago! Haha.. That was one of the best time in my life!


Seriously, as I gave myself another chance to change something significant in my life, which part of life should I travel back to do so.I ponder and ponder and ponder and finally came to a conclusion.I don't plan to use that time machine even if I am given one.I wouldn't want to change anything in the past because every event of my life have taught me the grace of God.As I looked back, I have never regretted making good/bad decisions in the past as I can reflect back and see what I have grown out of the decision I've made. In fact, it is my past that made me who I am today and I'm glad of who I am today because I know all things works for good for those who love God. (ref. Rom 8:28).What I've done whether it was the right or wrong, I delight in all of them because God put them there for me to mould me into the shape He wanted as I am the clay and He is the potter.
