Give Thanks in Hardship?

Can you say FRUSTRATED? I'm sooooooooooooooo reliant on my computer for everything. I do my Bible study on it. I write my books. I communicate almost solely on it through email, Facebook, my website, and blog. Without it I'm stuck watching television or listening to audio books. The books are preferable.

I just finished The Hiding Place by Corrie Tinboom. It was the second time I've read it. Wow! It really puts thing in perspective. What a whiner I am. Corrie and her sister, Betsy were in a concentration camp thanking God for fleas & lice without knowing why they should be thankful. They just had faith & the Bible says to do it. They learn later the guards wouldn't enter the barracks because of those critters.  This allowed them to have Bible study. Geesh!


I'm perturbed I'm not going to have the hardship of being without a computer for a few days. WIMP!  I still feel like crying and pulling my hair out. When people tell me their woes are less compared to mine I've always said whatever hardship you face is hard to handle and is huge to you.  My hardships don't make yours less, but I understand feeling like you've no right to complain.

So, I'll be unable to blog. Instead I'll pray and thank God (not knowing why, but knowing it's all for His glory). The past few days I've reminded myself to give thanks and pray whenever crying threatens. Used to I'd have thought that was crazy, but I'm soothed by it. Imagine that His grace really is sufficiient. There might be a bit of truth in  the Bible . lol.


30 Viruses
3 People hacked into my computer
Norton Antivirus 360

What's the point of having antivirus software, if these are the results?
