MIRACLE ??

In my post about giving God an easy prayer to answer I wrote about my request to the Almighty that I do NOT EVER want to win the big prize in the Lotto drawings. I believe those huge prizes bring nothing but angst.  However a smaller prize would be just fine. So I enter but I hope for small winnings and pray I don't get the big one..  So far He has answered that prayer 100% of the time:)

I have recently had computer problems and my "computer guy" is in the process of moving so he couldn't even look at it for over a week. Oh the horrors of withdrawal. So I dug in and tackled it myself.

Most of you know how that can easily push one off the edge of sanity. We try one thing and it removes another. We dig and dig to find access to the tools we need. Then find out they don't work or we made it worse. For 4 days I struggled with this beast with my limited knowledge.  There was no "eureka" moment.  I did marginally fixed my email early on but then I no longer could access my search engine and blogger stayed hidden.

Finally I used "restore" twice till I got to a time where I could at least open Internet Explorer, my old search engine.  It barely worked but it did give me some functions if a bit primitive. I was able to read your posts and publish your comments. It was not fun nor smooth but it worked.

I practiced insanity by repeatedly banging on the Google Chrome button on my taskbar after each attempt. I kept expecting a new result, but nothing. Sleep gave  me no relief. I had actual nightmares about working on it so this was a 24/4 aggravation.  Finally on the 4th evening I had exhausted everything I knew to do and after my hundredth unsuccessful reboot, I threw up my hands and said, "Lord, how about you give it a try?"  I then shut it down and went to sleep, nightmare free.

When I awoke, it appeared to still be my crippled computer. Just to prove I was insane, I once more hit Google Chrome and wow, it came to life clear as ever. It was like the previous 4 days hadn't happened. Everything worked as it had before. I could finally delete Internet Explorer and breathe.

So was it a miracle?  Did the Big Guy zap my computer back to life? I'm thinking the original problem was caused by Microsoft. They sent my Windows 7 a very long install two days after they washed its hands forever of my operating system.  Perhaps Windows realized the problem and snuck in a corrective patch without my knowledge?

I'd rather believe God needed an easy cure and fixed it for me even though I'm sure he has way more important things to work on. Who knows?  I thanked Him profusely---just-in-case.

Ever have your computer drive you crazy then suddenly heal itself over night?
