Angel Notes>
Divine Intervention Amidst Troubles!




February 17, 2007

Today is proving to be difficult. My iBook won't boot up, 
I'm sick with a cold, and I am getting more discouraged by 
the minute. Obstacles to my desired goals are mounting. 
 
What to do? Honestly, I feel like diving back into the 
covers. My nose hurts, I'm tired, and I don't want to face 
the possibility that I've lost my computer and all the 
files I've worked on recently. And I have no one to blame 
but myself because of my procrastination. I have not done a 
backup recently and I keep putting off applying for the 
iBook's warrantly program. Now I am bit and boy do I have a 
headache! 
 
I guess I have to admit that I'm human and pray for divine 
intervention!  
 
But until some angel comes and soothes all my cares away, 
like they did for an exhausted Elijah, who was discouraged 
to the point of death, I have a few choices: 
 
One, a few minutes ago I reached out and asked for prayer 
for my poor little sick iBook. And prayer for my poor 
little sick nose! The prayer request may have been on a 
message board, but I feel comforted knowing it is in God's 
hands and lifted up in prayer by my friends, who are truly 
angels to me at these times! 
 
Second, I am finalizing a little tiny step that will help 
me achieve my goals, but more importantly, encourage others 
who have similar dreams. I want to be an angel to others! 
 
Third, I am writing this newsletter, refusing to isolate 
myself, yet! Maybe you will relate to what I'm writing and 
be encouraged. So many times I have found that being real 
and authentic is the best way to uplift another. After all, 
pain and discouragement are universal! 
 
So now what? I can think of all that I'm thankful for; my 
family, my home, my otherwise intact health. 
 
Maybe get some sunshine and take my poor neglected dogs for 
a walk! 
 
Work on some projects that I've been putting off because I 
dread, but they are so important to finish! 
 
Perhaps make a lunch that is full of hot salsa and loaded 
with Vitamin C! Mexican food is the best, especially when 
suffering from a cold. 
 
Then, after constant prayer, I may just dive into the 
covers. After all, maybe that's what God's trying to tell 
me—to get some rest, that my projects can wait, and just 
maybe, how I hope so with all my heart, that my computer 
will recover and I can resume my work. 
 
And the first thing I will do is apply for that warranty 
program and back up my files!
