If patience is worth anything, it must
endure to the end of time. And a living faith will last in the midst of the
blackest storm.
Pacing back and forth, hyperinflation as I breathed heavily, my eyes were now filled with tears; yesterday was a true test of my faith.
Being
in New York, I’ve experienced financial struggles, and difficulties enrolling
in school. With these heavy burdens, focusing in this internship was a little
bit of a challenge, but I continued to keep the faith as my motivation to
preserve. However, the worst was
yet to come when milk spilled across my MacBook keypad. Slowly, the milk trailed
across my keys as if it was torturing me. There was no way to clean it
before it seeped right through my escape key. My laptop screen faded to black
and it completely shutdown as my entire body began to shutdown too. The feeling of
anxiety ran through my veins, there were so many uncontrollable emotions
from rage, to sadness, and depression. I just couldn’t take life challenges
anymore; if it wasn’t one thing already it was another. At this point, I wanted
to throw the towel in and just go back home.
Fortunately, my suite-mate Destinee came to the rescue as she calmed my emotions down and guided
me through the correct steps on solving this problem. We called Apple Support
Care, and after countless trials of troubleshooting, nothing seemed to work.
The technician suggested that I go to the Apple Store immediately, while
quoting an extreme price between $200-$755 for this repair. I knew I
couldn’t afford the laptop fixtures, but something deep down inside of me could
afford to take a leap out on faith. We rushed through the doors of Apple and
headed straight to the Geniuses Bar for my 11:00 a.m. appointment. My laptop
specialist was Christopher Kerry; his determination to fix my MacBook gave me a
sense of assurance that everything will work out. After two hours passed, a
light blue screen with an apple logo appeared on my screen. I was overwhelmed
with joy as my laptop started rebooted itself. Kerry gave me the authorization
form for the repair and the balance read $0.oo. This was a true act from God and an
example of how he blesses us, despite the obstacles we endure. Just continue to
trust in his word because it says, "He would never forsake us."
