praise the Lord! my comp is healed...well, not entirely, but it's working again and all my files were preserved...so yeah, i am extremely thankful to God. was praying really really hard all throughout the appointment while the rcc was working away at fixing the comp. he had to take out my hard drive and put it into his laptop and copy files from his floppy drive and it was just basically a complicated process but that doesn't matter coz now my comp works again! have i mentioned praise the Lord?! i really thank God he brought along this rcc who knew what he was doing, coz the first guy i went to totally was unable to come up with this solution. but yeah, i'm still praying that i will not forget the lessons i've learnt from this whole incident.
1) pray specifically - God gives what you ask for, when i just asked for the comp to return to the error screen from the hard disk being totally dead, that's what i got. 2nd time round i prayed that all my files would be recovered, and God graciously said yes.
2) put your trust in God alone. let me rephrase. put my trust in God alone. jenny was praying for me the other day and one phrase stood out, "help Val to trust in you God, and not in this rcc guy". yes, i am thankful that the rcc guy was very knowledgeable, but at the end of the day it's God who provides.
3) when you're down in the dumps, praise the Lord anyway. it was hard, but when i mustered the strength to say "thank you God, in despite of all that's going on, that you're good", it brought me great peace. i have to learn to say "the Lord gives, and the Lord takes away. blessed me the name of the Lord!"
so yeah...happy ending this time round, God be praised.
oh, and in the midst of all this excitement, forgot one other very important fact...i'm officially a psych major now! my petition to declare my major has been processed, and so this means i won't have the same nightmare getting into classes i had at the beginning of this semester. but yeah...big deal in my life, must celebrate!
