So much to be thankful for, so much to be thankful for, where would I start?
Where did all that time go? It's already mid-August and I'm less than half a year away to graduating from school! It's truly been a ride - somehow it feels so long yet so brief, so much has happened in the past one and a half years. Looking back, it's almost like a blur, but I know I only made it to today by God's grace and strength. Sounds like a cliché - but I really couldn't have done all of it by relying on myself...
In other news, my 6 year-old Mac finally did the inevitable and died on me. I was watching an old episode of Gossip Girl late on a Thursday night and poof! Suddenly the screen went black and the computer restarted itself. Subsequently, it just kept restarting on its own, and occasionally a stop sign would appear against a white screen...
Tried to get it fixed at Sim Lim - the guy wiped out my hard disk (boohoo) and installed the latest Mac software for $60. I thought the issue resolved but when I went home, the same thing happened! Finally decided that perhaps I should get a new one :/
At first I felt that the timing could have been better. We're all less than two weeks away from our thesis submissions and I really needed my laptop to just survive a little while longer as I make my final edits and formatting! Also, needed to work on a wedding video for a friend and no laptop = no video...
But anyway, after a series of events, I managed to get a new laptop in less than a week. Super thankful for God's provision - in the form of 1. help from friends (especially Gabriel who came to Sim Lim with me, and talked me through the whole selection process - you must understand that I am a tech noob), 2. money (super heart-pain needing to fork out $, but thankful that my Dad paid a portion of it for me and I did not need to take a loan), and 3. guidance (I really couldn't decide between the different options but God helped me narrow the choices down). I really pray that I will take good care of my new Mac and use it for His glory! Trusting in His provision for the days ahead.

Another thing I'm super thankful for - Sandra's recovery! You had us all scared for a moment there. Thank you God for strengthening Sandy and helping her to get well :)

There's something to be grateful for in every circumstance :)
