E-mails

I just experienced a miracle. I had just
typed up 3 important (and lengthy!) e-mails on our laptop,
then when I went to send them, the computer wouldn't connect
to the server. This particular computer has some kind of a
virus, and it was "doing its thing"! It is late at night,
and though I could have retyped the e-mails on our desktop
computer, I, of course, preferred not to do so! Besides, I
had the requests on this newsletter to pray for before I got
too sleepy to work on computers! Well, I prayed for an
electronic miracle. As I prayed, I realized that I didn't
really believe God would answer this prayer. But I pushed
these thoughts aside and continued to pray for an electronic
miracle--and for more faith! Then I went on to pray through
the prayer requests in yesterday's newsletter.
I was pretty sleepy when I finished, but
the e-mails had to be sent tonight, so I resigned myself to!
the fact that I would have to retype them on the desktop
computer. I picked up the laptop and put it beside the
desktop for reference to what I had previously said, but my
messages weren't there! They weren't anywhere -- until I
clicked the category entitled "items sent"! I don't know how
it happened, because the computer never went on line, but
the messages were sent! I received confirmation of this
later! Isn't it wonderful that we serve a God who not only
cares about the big things, but about the little things too?
Who cares whether or not e-mails get out? Who cares whether
or not I am in bed on time, or have to stay up fighting with
computers? I only pray that the next time I need an
electronic miracle (or for a miracle of any caliber!) I will
have more faith!
Love in Christ,
Lyn
