The Internet

Let me tell you a little story.
Saturday my internet was working fine and then all of a sudden, it stopped working. I tried restarting the computer, unplugging the router and modem, try resetting each, multiple times. And it wouldn't work. I was frustrated cause I knew that meant that I had to call the lovely people at Rogers. Wonderful. So I got talking to a tech guy and he did some tests on the connection and he couldnt figure out why it wasn't working. So he said he would schedule a technician to come to my place. And then he told me the next available time was TUESDAY between 5 and 8. Wonderful...3 whole days away. So I got the appointment scheduled and hung up.

Now, this is where I want to make my point. You see, this is exactly the kind of situation that would drive me absolutely nuts, get me all upset and riled up and end with me crying or yelling - none of which actually helps the situation. But I didn't. I tried to stay calm. I tried to remember that internet isn't that important and its not a big deal to not have internet for a few days. And that is my point. I didn't do those things I usually do. Why? Cause of the Lord! I'm serious! That is evidence of the Lord working in my life and working on my emotions! He's helping me see the bigger picture and learn to let the little things go. He is working in me and slooowly making me more and more like Him! And that's just my little story.

And, how about this - when I got back from my baseball party that night, my internet was working!
