I'm so sad... my laptop just got damaged! :( The frame around my screen popped out and can't be popped back in, and the bottom of my laptop is dented! and it's because of my bag, by some freak chance, that both ends of the strap of my sling bag gave way AT THE SAME TIME!!! one side the seam gave way, and the other side, the plastic broke!!! my bag was around my waist, so i didn't expect it to be damaged, since it was even in a padded pouch!
My first reaction when i realized the damage was i want to replace my laptop. I didn't like it anymore. I was mentally calculating how much it would cost to replace it, how long i would need to work, how much could i sell this laptop for, and if i couldn't sell, what could i do with it. Maybe I could give it to marvin for his 18th birthday. I was lamenting why do bad things happen to good equipment!
I was feeling so down, that even though i was so tired, i just couldn't sleep. Looking at my laptop now, the damage is actually so minimal. So why did i react like that! During the NS L-team meeting today, i was talking about how i need to accept imperfections, and God really just gave me a real-life application. Haiz~ i really hope this is the beginning of me being able to shake off my OCD personality.
But as for me,
I watch in hope for the LORD,
I wait for God my Savior;
my God will hear me
