Ok, so Valentine's Day is never really big in our house, our Anniversary is the 20th, so we just kind of roll it into one. So imagine my surprise when lonnie called last night from Guatemala to tell me Happy Valentine's Day, and I cried. Now I know it probably has something to do with him being there and not here, and me being with all the kids alone (ha) all week, but after i got off the phone with him, I had myself a good old fashioned pity party.
He said all is going well there and things have been just amazing. I can really tell that God has been doing a great work in him and those that are with him. They are scheduled to fly out on Sat, and be home Sat night.
I think it is a very interesting and slightly scary process when you have been praying for God to do something for for such a long time and believing that He will, (We tend to expect thing to go our way and in our time frame) then God does something so drastic as a heart and outlook remodel, and you get kind of scared, because even though you know something was going to change, the old is familiar, and well, the new is not. I know I am rambling, but I am trying tosort out my thoughts.
Basically I miss Lonnie in a very real way. I have managed to fill up my days and most of my evenings so I haven't had to face it. But I miss him. I know it is only a week and it could be much worse, but that is where I am at right now.
