Computer Problem
A couple weeks ago I had another problem with my computer. My free AVG security showed that I was at a critical point and needed to upgrade, plus as I watched my worship music on Youtube, it was taking longer to download and a notice for me that I needed to restart. So I tried. However, when I did that my laptop screen showed only the new Microsoft Logo and to upgrade to Window 11, which I didn't want to do at this time But it didn't give me that option and I could not even shut my computer down. So I had to power off and restart but the same screen came up again. So I still had peace and knew God would help me get it fixed. I talked to Ravi, my landlord, and his son if they knew someone who was good with computers. The son said yes and they would call them. So I went to sleep that night and no worship music, which I usually do from midnight to about 1:30 in the morning. But before sleeping I prayed to God to lead me to the right person to help me with my laptop, and had a peace knowing He would and then I went to sleep right away knowing everything was in God's control. Plus He knew I needed my computer on this journey.
The next morning Ravi said they would take me to a computer store in town that he had seen the week before and just thought of, and had said to himself, that if I needed help with my computer that was where I should go. So we, the whole family took a taxi, just to get out of the house and go to the city. When we got there, it was a small store sandwich between many other small businesses. The owner was about 60 years old, and met me at the counter and I explained my problem. While he worked on it, he told me he was from South Korea. Then he told me I needed to upgrade my security for $30 plus labor, a total of $50, in Fijian currency which is twice American, so I said okay. and paid him. Then I asked if he could increase my power on the computer, and he said yes and that would cost me $75 but before he started on that I asked if he could also clean my computer which was very dirty and had never been cleaned. Then I asked if he could fix my gmail site which had crashed over two months ago, and was I had not figured out how to get it back up.So when I have him my password, Jesus Saves, he realized that I was a Christian, and he told me he had come to Fiji as a missionary and was now a part of a fellowship of about a thousand members, but he was not the pastor. Wow! This Korean was a genius with computers and a love for God, and restored everything on my laptop. Then I gave him a $100 bill for the increased power. He went back toward his office to get my $25 change, but I said "stop", you keep the change. He had not even charged me for the cleaning or for restoring my gmail site. He was surprised, and came back to thank me and give me a big hug. While we hugged each other I prayed for him and placed my hand on the top of his head and gave him a double blessing and then he prayed for me/ Wow again. I felt so blessed after I left that store and its owner. My Fijian family who had come with me and had waited outside the small store, all got back in the taxi and headed back to our little house in the country. Now I can listen to my worship music again and now I can see the Zoom Meetings and write my Blogs with my gmail site restored for free, by a kind and godly man from South Korea. God is so very Good.
