Rejoice with Me!

We had visitors today! We got ready for our Fourth of July picnic with Jason and Steve...hamburgers, potato salad, pop, etc.
But, since it wasn't a holiday here in Paraguay, we also had other visitors...a guy who came to fix the washer, and later on, Steve...looked at my "broken" computer.
On Monday, both the washer AND the computer stopped working. I called, skyped, and messaged my technical dad and brother-in-laws about the computer...all of them were stumped. I talked to Jason who couldn't figure this out and then we decided to wait for Steve (who was coming on Wednesday) on that one.
Well the washer worked one day. So, I was happy...thinking that I am getting my visitors this coming week and what am I going to do without a working washer. Well, the next day it stopped working again. We went on like this every day and all week and finally, yesterday Oscar called our friend to come check it out.
He came today and...EVERYTHING WAS FINE. Can you believe it? He did clean out some hoses and work on some other things...but everything was working correctly and PERFECTLY. Great! Now the computer.
After lunch Steve and I went to check out the computer and he looked at it, confused because there WAS NO PROBLEM.
YES THERE WAS! None of my USB drives worked...all week long! We checked and re-checked...everything was fine!
Hmmmmm.
So what DID happen this week? Something was going MAJORLY WRONG with two of my very important electrical/technical appliances and now EVERYTHING IS FIXED...magically???
Thanks God! Rejoice with me! My God is a God of MIRACLES!

Satan sure has a way of trying to get us to worry! But thank God, HE IS GREATER than satan.

Did you check the connections to see if they were all plugged in OK?
I'm glad you're back to using your equipment again. Somehow, I don't think I could wash everything by hand, and I know I go through computer withdrawal whenever this one doesn't work right. Hopefully after this past week, as my computer guy was here daily working on it, he said it's now OK. Hope so.

You have intermittent problems and breakdowns that have miraculously been fixed. In my life' story, they would break down again when I went to use them while I was home alone. But, I will praise God with you, because this is your story!
