"Keep on rejoicing in the Lord at all times. I will say it again: Keep on rejoicing!" ~Philipians 4:4, International Standard Version
When I was last updating my blog, I had something I needed to go do. I sat
my laptop computer down beside me on the couch to let it finish uploading the
pictures. Upon returning, I quickly sat down with my full intentions to
continuing to work on my blog so it would soon be up to date! Well, I sat down
too close to my computor and actually bent and popped the case off my USB flash
drive, which contained most of my pictures from the last two years. What a
disappointment! I think I was in shock! I started researching the possibilities
of getting the flash drive repaired. I found a promising solution and sent my
flash drive off, with the hope of at least saving some of my pictures! Well, to
make a long story short, the estimate for the job was $1,700! When I said, I
would not be able to do that, they said they would give me a 10% discount.
Needless to say, I had them send the flash drive back to me, in the hopes that
someday I'll be able to find someone who will be able to help me rescue my
pictures! Unitl then.... I will continue to choose to be happy for I have
hundreds of reasons!
Happy For A Reason Reasons:
1.
Though breaking my flash drive, and losing nearly two
years of pictures was a huge disappointment to me, it was not the end of the
world!
2.
I have a wonderfully made working memory, where those
pictures are forever fixed in my mind!
3.
Much to my surprise, I was not devastated, like I
probably would have been a year ago!
4.
I am so happy for the information that I have learned
and been able to apply to my life from Dr. Neil Nedley’s books, and classes!
5.
For these great books: The Lost Art of Thinking,
Depression The Way Out, SOS Help For Emotions, and Telling Yourself the Truth.
Hopefully, I will have time to post a few updates from the summer soon!
”For my thoughts are not your
thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are
higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts
than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth,
and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread
to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me
void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the
thing whereto I sent it.” ~Isaiah 55:9-11
