Backup & Restore

I didn’t know this, but our phone system at work had a couple of hard drives running it.  I found this out today, because they fried, leaving us without voicemail.  I just love how God works; this happened literally as the workers were switching over our phone service to a new company, who just happens to offer us voicemail features.  If there was ever a time for it to die, the time was today.

Since the hard drives blew (not literally), we also lost all of the memory and settings in our phone system.  That, however, was remedied by an apparent backup and restore function (I know nothing of what I speak, only what the phone specialist told me).  So, instead of losing everything, we only lost voicemail.

So I am thankful for backup and restore functionality, that God prevented a serious headache through its use.  We had purchased the phone system second-hand, and it has been around for 10 years, so the fact that God allowed a feature - especially one that we would receive from elsewhere - to die today was truly a portrayal of His orchestration.  Thank the Lord!
