Testing

'Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.' James 1:2-4

Just a few days ago, I was writing about trusting God and not in men. Well, I guess it's faith being put into action these few days as a series of unexpected and unexplainable things started occuring one by one.

It 1st started with the laptop I had. The cd-rom suddenly died on me and refused to start even though I left the laptop off for 2 days. I had to get a new one. And as the new one arrived, the hard disk of the old one started crashing on a 30 minute basis. It was too regular to be considered a software glitch. It was dying.

I had to transfer the files over to my new laptop. But halfway through, with most files saved and only MTVs left, I suddenly couldn't access the old laptop's hard disk. It's LAN port had died too! But thank God that I managed to transfer the most dear things to me.

The 2nd and 3rd occured today. I came back home and found that I could not close the half opened door. Looking up, I saw that the ceiling had collapsed! The thing I had to praise God was that, it didn't entirely collapsed (but would collapse anytime soon though,*sigh* Thank God I wasn't at home sleeping at that time (as I usually would be, heh. Yes, I'm a pig, hehe, sue me)

And finally, as I drove back to Cyberjaya, my car started acting up on me. Small vibrations were felt as I took the turn near the shell refineries. Not suspecting anything, I drove on, only to find that the vibrations got worse as I got closer to Cyberia. It turned bad when I was near Hassan's. At that time, the car was shaking so violently, I prayed that I could arrive here safely, considering it was 4:30 am(!)

What else could I say? Lord, what do you want me to hear Lord? You've my utmost attention. Aku mau cinta Yesus selamanya~

Amen~!
