Amazing Grace

Left my thumb drive in the comp lab yest. Realised it when I reached home. Would have been too late to rush back to get. was not very much worried... called a friend and asked her to check if the thumb drive was still there and she said she couldn't find it. Was not particularly upset either. strange. had a tiny glimpse of hope that it will still be there, yet, not totally sure if I'm taking God for granted. Know that I fully deserve it if the thumb is not there anymore, cos this is in fact at least the third time i've left things around campus this year. Know that I need to learn to be careful and to be disciplined and to get my life in order... God, help me!

Started to get anxious in the evening about my thumb. realised that I have something very important inside... losing that info could cost me, my credibility (maybe i'm exaggerating here). Decided I should cancel app with SA and go to sch early to look for my thumb. Prayed "God, please let it be there..." I know that I'll be brave to face the consequences if it's not there, but i just bought the thumb about 3 months ago and replacing it costs money.

Seem to hear His voice "Dear child, you still do not know me. You have not understood my grace..." It's scary yet comforting... cos I know that I truly deserve the consequences if the thumb is not there... and I have taken Him for granted...

Went to the lab this morn, went to the computer where I thought I left my thumb at... and it was not there anymore. felt sad... went to the comp behind it and oh my goodness, my thumb was still there!!! Praise God! No wonder my friend couldn't find it yesterday. I told her to look at the wrong comp... (also saw someone else's thumb drive in the same comp... *chuckles*)

Relief and thanksgiving flooded... knowing that I am precious to Him... knowing that each and every of His child is so so precious to Him...
