hey guys
I'd really really appreciate if you could remember me in prayer -- my computer just crashed :( I was scanning something on my printer, then it suddenly turned off, then my computer froze and gives me error messages at startup. sigh
Really really hope I'll be able to recover my data. I usually back up my stuff, but for some reason the last backup somehow didn't quite work, and because I overwrote previous backups I definitely don't have a good working copy of a lot of things. And ask any college student, their life exists on their hard drive :( and I have my finals beginning tomorrow, so it's not quite the best time for such a thing to happen.
but amidst it all, I choose to be thankful:
1) that I still had some data backed up. and that a lot of work I've done over the past few weeks have been either submitted online/sent to other team members via email, so I can slowly re-piece together my work.
2) that this didn't happen last Sunday night. if not I'd be absolutely destroyed, because I had a final project due last monday and that I was up all night for (red bull gives you wings)
3) that I don't have anything immediately pressing that I need my computer for
4) that my roommate has an extra computer and is extremely gracious in letting me use one of his
5) that I have the extended warranty, so even if I need to replace my harddrive it should be free. and I'll get a lot of extra technical support in service and in software when I call in tomorrow
6) and above all else, that I know God had a purpose in this. to either remind me of how vulnerable I am and how much I need to depend on Him; that my life isn't sustained by the things of this world and my material possessions; that if i think I can keep my life going on my own strength and hard work all it takes is for a small hardware error to occur that could wipe out my energy and enthusiasm.
so I guess please pray that I'd be able to recover my data, but more so that in this time I'd learn to find strength and sustenance in God.
thanks:) you don't know how much I appreciate it.
