500GB for less than $200 - thank God!

Just want to share this testimony of what God has done for me today - feel very touched by His sheer kindness and the favour that He gave me:
  1. For the prayer that I prayed to God this morning - that if He doesn't mind, that He'll help me find this particular Seagate hard-disk model that has 500GB of space - for less than $200. 'Cos I need to backup a few computers at home... and also need the additional harddisk space for some upcoming ministry video production.
  2. Then I went to Sim Lim. Met Edmund there. We scouted around for The 500GB Hard Disk. To our surprise, seems like this model we wanted was so popular that the first few shops we went to had all the other models in this particular line of HDDs, except that one. "All sold out!"
  3. So prayed that we could find that model, 'cos Seagate's HDDs are really good in quality (5 years warranty ok!), and it's cheap (not more than $217).
  4. Eventually we found the hard-disk model. Price: $217.
  5. Searched again: $209.
  6. At that point, I said to Edmund: "I think can buy now..."
  7. Edmund: "No, let's keep looking around."
  8. Found this Maxtor hard-disk for $199. Wow! I remembered my prayer in the morning. But... still decided to look for the Seagate model some more.
  9. Finally we came to this shop at Level 5. "Best Bargain". I went in, took a look... and lo and behold, on the shelves were a few "FreeAgent 500GB" HDDs by Seagate... for the heaven-sent price of (drum-roll, followed by the clash of cymbals) one-hundred-and-ninety-EIGHT dollars. $198. I double-checked. Yup, in Singapore dollars!
  10. Gleefully hefted the Preciousss to the counter.
  11. Asked the cashier - "Does the price include GST?" He looked at me and said, "Including GST."
  12. Edmund said knowingly when he heard the price: "It's the lowest already. For this kind, can't go any lower."
Wow. Thank God so much. Thank God for Edmund. And thank God - so very touched that He cares even for something as minor and as tiny as buying something. Whatever we need, if we ask, He will provide! Amen! When Jesus came to show us what the Father really was like, one of the ways that He showed us was to point to how the Father so lavishly fed cheap sparrows and watered perishable flowers.

:D "How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!"
