A Call From A Friend

So today was just another day. Well I wish that was true, but it wasn't. I woke up to my six year old standing next to my bed asking for breakfast. After several attempts at getting up, I finally rolled out of bed. With the wave of my spatula, breakfast was served. Once bubba was settled, I went back to bed. With a few more moments of shut-eye under my belt, I got up and started the day. That's when the phone started ringing. It was Tim. His wife carol, my weekend sitter and BFF, had been taken to the hospital. They were worried about complications carol was having with their third bundle of joy. After a prayer for the situation with carol and the baby, my thoughts turned to my problem. With carol in the hospital, who was going to watch Linc? Let the phone calling begin. I called anyone who I thought could help me out. After a while I began to worry. No one was picking up, and my time was running out. I finally just took a deep breath and gave it to the Lord.

I ran down stairs to the car to get the charger for my cellphone, when It rang. It was dad... always a welcome call. I explained to him what was going on with carol, and he promised to pray. He also said not to worry about Linc.... "God will open a door." After coming back upstairs, I checked on Linc, and sat down at the computer. I payed some bills, checked facebook, and asked the Lord to bless my finances. With business out of the way, I checked to see if JoJo was online, and thankfully she was. JoJo is my friend who lives in Malaysia. She consistanly makes time for me each day, and I really enjoy our time together. As I was chatting with her, I was checking facebook, for people who could watch Linc. After chatting with one of our youth from the church, I found out about the Kids Church swim party/sleepover. I had forgotten all about it. For 25 bucks, the church was going to take the kids swimming and keep them overnight. Praise the Lord!!!! It was the total answer to my prayer. So Linc got to swim and I got to work on time.

I got to work and felt good about the day. What started out stressful, now, felt like a walk in the park. It was a good day, but a long one. I got to talk with an Airmen who was making hard decisions about getting married or not. It felt good to use my past relationship with Kristi, to help him with his problems. Through out the whole day, I enjoyed the company of so many different Airmen and Officers, and had a blast playing music for them. With the day finished and my body screaming for some rest, I headed out of the cafe and to the car. As soon as I unlocked the car, my phone rang. When I looked at the phone, it said... "JoJo calling." Now JoJo is in Maylasia, and we never call each other, just text and chat online. So I picked up the phone and heard the sweatest little voice on the other end. What a surprise!!! It was the perfect end to my day. Getting to hear her voice, even for just a few minutes, just made my day. I drove home with a grin on my face and very full heart.

So my day started with drama and stress, and ended with something so unexpected.....
