Two Miracles in a Row, Could this be the Third? [The First Miracle]

This is what I felt like a few weeks back and am writing as it was in my head at that moment....read on.....

It came to the point when I had to press my laptop very hard multiple times and turn in off/on before it booted. I felt really sad for the state of my motherboard; depressed actually. Let the LORD help me, I don't want a bad laptop. How will I tackle this problem in class? Then there's the problem of changing my domain still pending! How could Nino not have helped me now? Why did she go and have her domain account changed by Victor and not taken mine also with her? She should have known I couldn't take my laptop upstaris for fear that it might never boot. Yet, neither her nor Noshi helped me. I felt really upset now, how could I get on the domain? Maybe I should go talk to Victor about some permissions that needed to be set for the Finance staff on the Finance module, and with this also request him to change my domain account. That way I won't have to go upstairs....his office is on ground floor you see. What a brilliant idea! God willing, it'll work out fine.......

In Victor's Office.......

Now that I'm in Victor's office, he's soo busy correcting problems.....he has asked me not to talk till he is done with his work. It's 10 minutes since I came in and Victor shows no sign of finishing anytime soon. Mr Francis walks in, phew! Maybe he'll distract Victor so I can talk about Finance and my domain problem. Guess I was wrong, even he's been told to sush and wait. What's this? Is Victor getting ready to leave? "I'll be back in a minute" he says. Oh! He has to check on the server.....hmmmmm(sigh). When will he be back? Am getting late for my readings........A discussion on domain accounts with Mr. Francis starts and I voice my reluctance to take my laptop upstairs for fear that it might not boot. I also tell him about problems that others were having after changing his domain account. Mr. Francis tells me how to solve these problems. Wao! I didn't know it was ok and the problem could be solved so easily,........hmm "Can I bring my laptop for the domain thing to your office?" I asked, and he said sure, why not. He says I should come and check at his office tomorrow afternoon. Hmmm.... that's good , God wiling I'll get some good out of this. Can't stop thinking about my poor motherboard.....hmmm(sigh)

Next day.......

Let me just quickly check upstairs for Mr. Francis, if he's around then I can bring my laptop also......... "Which one of you (siblings) has problem with mother board?" he asks. I said mine was too bad now, the worst probably. He tells me he just got a very new motherboard from someone else's abandoned laptop. "There are other people in the queue".....but he's still giving it to me? How's that possible? Could this be true? "How much does it cost, and how do I make the payment".....he tells me I have to pay at finance and bring the receipt to him....."I don't have the money right now but I could call home and get it and make the payment today.....PLEASE don't give it to someone else, I'll make all payments today" I said. "No problem, you can pay tomorrow. Go and get your laptop so I can change the motherboard" What? Did I hear him correctly? I can have it changed without paying? Amazing!!! Praise the LORD!!!! "Thank you sooo much, let me go and get my laptop.....how much does it cost?" ........close to 21,000 naira. Who cares, that's not too much, thank God I have a new motherboard!!! I'll complete the payment process ASAP. Let me go downstairs and tell Nino or Mona.....but no, let me just go for the database course and I'll tell them after. Thank You Jesus!!!

That's the first miracle, Prasie GOD!!!
