Miracle :)
Tuesday, January 2nd, 2007Call it miracle, call me silly… a miracle really did take place last Friday night. I was in despair, my laptop refused to function, I hadn’t had a clue how to fix the work issue and worst still, my supervisor didn’t have a plan B for it. By hook or by crook, the two of us had to solve the problem.
It was 10.15pm when I failed my fifth attempt to open the work documents saved on the LAN. I looked at the screen blankly, nothing seemed to work. I was very close to tears. How could my laptop failed me at time like this!?! If hadn’t Katie’s reassuring words, I would surely crack… But still, the words couldn’t take away the worries I had. I felt like an ant running aimless on a hot pan, with pressing issues at hand and not able to fix them.
And then, I saw something on my desktop. It was a hymm. I double clicked on it and to my surprise it launched successfully when nothing else seemed to open no matter how I clicked on them.
I Surrender All I surrender all, All to Jesus, I surrender, I surrender all, All to Jesus, I surrender, I surrender all, I gathered myself and walked to Katie’s desk. We were giving the issue another try. I don’t remember how but our first attempt was fruitful! Katie and I found the source of the issue and got it fixed instantly!!! Can you imagine the two of us spent hours cracking our head and in just an instance, everything just started to make sense again. To non-believers, this sound like a mere coincidence, but to me, it was a different story… It is the power of the Almighty. I prayed that he would come and take away my anxieties and just totally surrendered in his power. This is the time I talked about previously; the time when there is nothing else you can do, it is the time you need a power which is above you helping you to get through. I now realize how Oprah Winfrey must have felt many, many years ago. It is the same hymm she sang when she was dying for a role in Stephen Speilberg’s movie and thought she could never get it. She surrendered to Him that very night and the next day, Stephen Speilberg called and she got the role. You can still call it coincidence, it’s okay. But to us, our life has changed at the very instance… knowing His power is everywhere when we surrendered our deepest fear. Now you know why my resolution #1 is to rekindle my connection with the Almighty. In the name of the father and the son and the holy spirit, Amen.
All to Jesus, I surrender,
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.
I surrender all;
All to thee, my blessed savior,
I surrender all.
Make me, Savior, wholly thine;
Let me feel Thy holy spirit,
Trully know that Thou art mine.
I surrender all;
All to thee, my blessed savior,
I surrender all.
Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power,
Let Thy blessing fall on me.
I surrender all;
All to thee, my blessed savior,
I surrender all.
