I keep a running journal of my exercise, how I feel, how many push ups I do, how long my aerobics portion of the workout is etc. and was stupid enough to take my little book with me on my jaunts to the store. I wrote out my needed items from the store and the weeks menu in the pages of my little workout journal and now I can't find it. I'm in a contest at work to see who works out the most. I feel I'm a slacker because I can't give my last 4 weeks workout results due to the loss of my journal. I can't seem to think of anything else except finding it.
Aub is struggling with locating her cell phone. Little Clara carted it off leaving it alone to die, unable to sound an alarm as to it's whereabouts. Now I can't contact Aub except when Nate is home.
Nathan (my Nathan) has this uncanny problem with losing his keys, his measuring tape, his cell phone, his wallet. In fact, his father made comment about how funny it is that Nate will go and go and go fixing things or building things, but his worst problems is relocating his tools from the last time he set them down.
I use prayer alot to relocate things and believe it or not, most the time I find them. So I ask, why is it that god can help me find my keys, or my wallet, but I don't seem to get the needed answers for the things I feel are REALLY important. (Not that finding my keys isn't important, but it won't SAVE MY SOUL). I pray for my son all the time. I pray he will become more respectful, and start valueing his lungs and health. Then I start to wonder how god would answer this. Would it be by Whit having a real bad pneumonia, or losing a parent? I don't want those things to happen either. So I don't know how this prayer would be answered. I tend to wonder if I would like the actual way god would bring about this request.
God did answer a very important prayer, and Aub and Nate now have a new car. What a relief. It's so hard to hear about your childrens struggles and not be able to help them because they are too far away to lend a hand. What a feeling of frustration. Like a mother wolf looking at her pup with it's foot stuck in a trap, unable to help it. That's how I felt with when Aub and Nate had the issue with the car. So this very important prayer was answered.
Why does it seem these hangups in life take so much more time to answer than something that is as simple as relocating your keys or wallet?
Who knows?

I FOUND IT I FOUND IT. When I came down stairs this morning Nate was tearing up the couches for about the 200th time lookin for the damned thing. Apparently he was very disconcerted by me having no phone, he would get worried when I wasn't home in time, or that I have no phone when he is at work for emergencies. Anyways, I went on the search again too. Kitchen, closets...etc. Went into the laundry room for the umpteenth time, and had an appifany, "the space under the washing machine is just big enough that the phone could fit under it..."voila! I sreamed, Nate got mad and said I shouldn't scream it scares him. yay yay yay yay!
I like to believe like the little things like finding stuff help remind that he is there helping the best that he can, just like you try to help Aubrey and your other kids. Those kind of things happen to me all the time...
