I knew the kids would not have their electronic devices when they went to Wayumi, but I assumed I would still be able to communicate with Brad because he was able to keep his phone for the duration of their stay at the camp this week. I was in for a rude awakening on the first day he was away...I was texting and leaving him messages throughout the day to see if they arrived safely and he wasn't returning any messages....I finally texted..."Are you mad at me or something?!" You know when it gets to that point and you start to have a complex...ha! I texted at the end of the first day..."well, I don't know if I will hear from you today so goodnight" and "love you" with these lip emoticon things....then, I got a text back from him with two weird looking question marks in triangles and a face that looked like the eyes had been plucked out saying, "I couldn't find lips"....haha! He was trying to send me smiley faces, but they didn't arrive to me that way. Well, he is in a location in Pennsylvania that has very little if any cell phone reception....so he couldn't get through to me even though he was receiving my messages.
I have been able to get a couple emails from him with some pictures he is taking there, but then today...my work email is down so I can't even get emails from outside my workplace right now...hahaha! CRAZY!
The reception issues have been frustrating because there have been a couple important things this week that I really have wanted to talk with him about, but it has brought me to a better appreciation of a lot of things....one being the way we can have an open communication with GOD all the time and He truly understands us!
Isaiah 65:24 says, "Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear."
Isn't that satisfying!?
