Run Forest...Run.....


Phone calls have suddenly become the highlight of my day. Everytime the phone rings I think that might be my giant calling from Germany and I run for the phone like Forest Gump! Normally, phone conversations are not my speciality. I don't get to leisurly talk on the phone at home anymore (i save most lengthy calls for my cell phone where all people are strapped in and accounted for)because there are usually 4 lil people who need my attention more than the person on the line. It turns out to be more frustrating than fun to talk for any length of time on the home phone ,so I let my 7 year old daughter who is aspiring to become a secretary answer, most all calls go through her now. BUT now that they might be from Germany we have both been jumpin and runnin to get to the phone and the race is usually still won by her but then I give her the look like hey, i am bigger give me that phone or someone might get hurt.
All this to say that I heard from my giant first thing this morning and it has made my day. To hear how God is answering every prayer that we are all prayin here makes me so full of joy. I am so thankful that even though Moses and all our loved ones are so far away we can still affect thier lives through our prayers.

enjoyed reading all your posts. looks like you're a natural @ this thing. really enjoyed the speech on sun. & was encouraged to remember the power w/in. life stuff comes rushing/crashing in, we get stressed, then some of us like to beat ourselves up. i'll keep trying to remember that God is made strong when i'm weak. thanks for reminding us....

i can understand wanting the phone call. its not the same as a husband, but having chris so far away is hard. he has not been this far away before. he called today while i was at work so i missed him, but steve got to talk to him. he is lovin it. he is ready to go back next summer.
