Almost a week ago, I experienced the so-called "design student unexpected nightmare" - my laptop crashed. I was terrified when it didn't start. I was speechless - when they told me they couldn't save the data.
But when I was trying to digest everything, I realized, what I should say to God about it was : Thank You. And thank You. And thank You, and the peace of the Lord calmed my heart and mind.
Discoveries after discoveries, thoughts after thoughts, they all filled me with awe, of how good You are to me.
- Thank You Lord, after 3 good years of problem-free usage, it was actually the right time for the laptop to act up.
It happened right after the vital digital submissions and long before assessment.
And it happened on Thursday, literally the end of school week, I had no class on Monday so the laptop was repaired on 'weekends' :) - Thank You Lord, now I know why I thought the portfolio website was due a week ago. It's actually due 2 weeks after that!
I thought why in the world I bothered to finish that project in the midst of other deadlines? I did it and I saved it in my flash disk. Remembering how gaptek I am, imagine how panic I would be if I didn't do such thing and my laptop crashed. And if didn't do so, I wouldn't be able to do anything because the files required for that project are all gone! - Thank You Lord, the important school projects are surprisingly saved!
I was devastated at first thinking about the data loss, but when I checked what's left on my flash disk : I FOUND EVERYTHING.
Wow. - Thanks You Lord, both of my projects for this semester are not in digital form :)
- Thank You Lord, for this blog, for facebook, and even friendster!
Thanks God I blog. Thanks God I upload photos. I thought I lost some memorable photos and I was surprised I found them on facebook haha. I actually didn't understand why I put some weird and random photos in my albums, now I know why : because You know my heart would break if those weirds (yet precious) photos are gone. And I thank God I didn't erase those photos from my camera. - Thanks You Lord, now I know why I had the thought of printing those images for CPJ, when it's due at the end of the semester-
- Thank You Lord, now I know why I'm never a 'high-res' freak, although I'm a design student!
- Thank You Lord for my iPod (so it's not for homeworks and treadmill purposes only :), and for senuti. Hahahah.
- Thanks God it's the HD not the motherboard.
- Thank You Lord, my laptop was under-construction for 3 working days only - and I got to take it back in Wheelock and not Funan. I rushed from school today on 7:30 and amazingly could reach the service counter on 8. My laptop was actually out of warranty - 3 years duh - , but
- Thanks You Lord, it's repaired for free! I was supposed to pay about $12o++ but my err.. sth like reparation extension program- was approved by Apple.
- Thank You Lord, I let the Tiger go, it returned as a Leopard! I said goodbye to a dirty and scratchy laptop - I got a smooth - silky- and velvety one back.
- Thank You Lord, for my supporting, caring, loving, and understanding parents :)
- Thank You Lord, You give me Nduk's and Yanika's helping hands while the laptop's far away. Nduk you may have a Blackberry, I have a Blackbebby. Hahahahahah. Sengkyu yahh!
- Thank You Lord, for this great joy - my black baby is back!
Within those laptopless days, God gave me so many things. Rasanya kayak Tuhan mo hibur gw dengan berkat-berkatNya sampe gw merasa laptop gw rusak ini malah mendatangkan lebih banyak berkat, bukan kerugian - malah keuntungan. Dan buktinya, laptop gw balik, bahkan lebih ganteng dari sebelumnya huahahahah.
I learned once again, to rely 100% on God, that He doesn't disappoints, He answers prayers, everything happens for a reason, and with God, every little thing's gonna be alright.
And we'll see, His plans are perfect.
~ God is good, all the time. And all the time, God is good. ~
