Cast your cares on the Lord,
and He will sustain you.
Psalm 55: 22
I am so glad that I did not make a New Year's resolution to endeavor not to get exasperated when everything that can go wrong will go wrong, because I would have blown it to smithereens this morning!! Actually, the meltdown began last night, when I decided to process some of the 125+ pictures I took at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens on Monday. I plugged my card reader into the computer, inserted my CF card, and suddenly my whole computer system went haywire. I had no mouse, I had no keyboard - I had nothing! Just getting my computer turned off and my card out of the card reader was a major event.
At first it appeared that my newer wireless mouse was the problem, so I plugged in a different mouse. Then the computer said that I had keyboard failure. Unplugged that and the mouse. I'm sure you can tell at this point in the narrative that everything is going from bad to worse, with my computer going down and my blood pressure going up. Finally I turned the whole system off and faced the reality that I could not fix this myself. It was time to call in someone who actually understands computers.
My irritation level has not diminished, however. I have no idea who to call to fix my computer, my Yellow Pages is dated 2008, and I have sudden-onset amnesia for names of my friends who know something-anything-about computers. I rather think it is time to put my money where my mouth is when it comes to my faith and God's promises - to give God my cares regarding my damaged Dell. I need His sustaining, His wisdom, and His patience to conquer this problem. He has promised all those things. It's time to take Him at His Word.
