4Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Phillipians 4:4-9

I'm back...due to a rejoice worthy occurrence

So, for those of you who have not heard, I spilled coffee on my computer about a week and a half ago. And sadly, it killed my beloved Mac Book. But, in spite of that, I have a few things to rejoice in. First and foremost, I rejoice in the fact that I had just recently backed up to my external hard drive. So, thankfully, I did not lose very many important things. Secondly, I rejoice in the mere fact that it happened and the things that God has been teaching me because of it. I was talking with an amazing friend today and she pointed out the fact that, she's not really sure why, but she's pretty sure God had a reason for this happening. The circumstances of how it happened are just too unusual. And as much as it stinks, I think I agree with her. Lastly, I rejoice in the generosity of my "little" brother and his amazing wife. My brother recently got a new laptop and was in the process of deciding what to do with his old one, that still works (the purchase of his new one was just made with others from work since it's cheaper to buy in multiples). I'm pretty sure he was hoping to sell it and at least get a couple hundred dollars for it. But no, they very generously decided to simply give it to me. So now I have something to get me through my last few months of school. And to aid me in rejoicing regularly once again :) I rejoice in God's constant provision!
