When I Cry; Day235; Sharepoint Server 2007

Psa 56:9  When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.

When I cry (meaning-pray) to God, my enemies turn back.  Unknowingly, we have so many enemies around us and we just don’t normally recognize them.  Take for example a day full of misfortune.  Somehow there are days that are just full of mistakes, problems, heartaches, sickness, bad news, anxiety, worries, fears and they come in batches and sometimes in big bundles that we are so overwhelmed of it.  How do we handle these issues? The short answer is prayer.  Cry to God and if you don’t get any answers, keep crying. Not all of you are aware of my heart condition, but having a fragile heart keeps me in tip toe’d condition at all times.  Yes, I do all the cardio stuff diligently but inside me are worries, the what if, the anxiety of another heart attack.  It is a constant battle every minute of my life and especially a few hours after my workout when I can feel a slight sensation in my chest.  When I go to bed, before I pass out, I can hear voices of the enemy telling me that my life is short and that I’d better enjoy my life to the full (meaning-do all the crazy stuff).  Then this bad news of work situation at Samsung Austin, so many crazy ideas being thrown at me. What if I lose my job?  What shall I do? 

Honestly, my heart and mind are established,  no depression or anxiety and I don’t have to supplement my brain with extra chemicals to make it balanced. I don’t know what the future holds for me.  I live one day at a time and I constantly keep myself connected to the Lord so when the big storm comes, all I have to say is “Lord, let’s do it together”. But there is one thing I want to share with you today, it feels like I have a protection over me wherever I go.  Take for instance our Florida trip, that >2500 miles and if you ask me, there were a few near misses on the road but somehow, we were kept in a safe passage.  I can’t write all my tiny little victories here but all I know that when the enemy strikes on me or my family, the enemy turn back. (For those close to me, you know all my life struggles)

To some of you that are in a storm, hang in there, cry to God, be in the Word and be encourage.  Try faith if you haven’t yet.  For those that don’t struggle, celebrate but be in the same attitude as if you are in a difficult situation. 

Sharepoint Server 2007 Project:
I am on page 197 of Sharepoint Server 2007 Administrator’s Companion book and was able to setup the test server using the outdated Dell Poweredge 1550 rack server. At this point, I haven’t seen a big plus in using the Sharepoint 2007 version instead of just the plain Sharepoint 3.0 built in to W2003. Although, the book mentioned so many additional features that are in the SP2007, I have yet to discover the value of it.  From an admin’s perspective, the Sharepoint  3.0 version is much easier to deploy.  One thing I like with the SP2007 version is the painless setup to SQL2005 backend database and the segmentation of each sites.  Somehow, in the long run, SP2007 is much simpler to maintain.  The only big downside of SP2007 is the additional cost to the clients because SP2007 is not free and when you add the SQL Server 2005 database, the cost will even be higher.
