I'm not normally a preachy person...
I've been having a really bad go of it recently. REALLY bad. I won't go into details, but Friday night, my comp died. It was a bios issue. Those who have any computer knowledge, knows that that's a really bad thing. But to everything that's been going on, it's just another kick in the pants. Granted, it hurt a bit more, because the computer is really my only outlet. I do just about everything with it. Socialize online, art, writing, etc. So I've been spending the last day (on and off) talking to God about what's going on in my life, and what the "dealio" is with Him and myself. It just seems sometimes, to me, that even though I accept that shit happens, sometimes too much shit happens, and He can stop it, or at least make it clearer what He intends for me to learn from it. Neither was happening. I asked last night, for some kind of sign that He doesn't hate me, and that He's still with me.
Earlier today, both my sister and nephew tried turning on the computer, and got the same thing I was getting after the incident friday, the light was amber instead of green, and their was no power going to the mouse or keyboard, and aside from the light, the computer was totally unresponsive. So they went out to dinner with my sister's new boyfriend, and I intended to call Dell to explain the situation and hopefully have him talk me through a bios reset. So I got the dell stuff (the account info, the service tag, etc) ready, and I opened up the computer (so that I would be ready). I saw some lights on inside the computer (although nothing was activated), and before I called, I pressed the power switch.
It was green.
The computer started up like normal, as if nothing had happened. I know my sister and nephew didn't do anything (they can barely start it normally, but definitely wouldn't have the slightest clue how to fix it if anything went wrong). I also know that merely opening the case didn't do anything (especially since the lights inside were already on when I opened it).
You may not believe in signs, but I have no doubt God was telling me, "Hey, I'm still here. I'm still with you."
Amen.
