Anxiety, fear, worries, butterflies in the stomach, bile in the mouth...
That was exactly what i was feeling early this morning.
6.30am Woke up to find my two precious girls gone. Out of the house. No where to be found. I got frantic, call their dad and was told that they went for a morning jog.
7.30am Still no news of their whereabouts. Called them a couple of times on their handphone but i couldnt even get a ring tone.
And you may be wondering why i was in such a state. You see, all around the place where we stay, land developers are converting the land surrounding us into residential areas and construction activities are at its height there. The construction workers are staying in temporary shed that they build on the land .... "construction" workers are rather notorious for their behaviour and i just feared the worst.
8.00am At this time, i was getting ready for work....but they are still "missing". All sorts of imagination went thru my head.... all sorts of headlines flashed in my mind's eyes....Oh!! I WAS frantic!!!
8.15 am it was only than that i cried to the Lord for help. a few moments later, I saw out of the corner of my eye, a flash of colour, then movement in the empty construction ground. I saw.... Elizabeth all sweaty and wet, panting her way across the wet muddy ground back, followed by Ezra. How my heart leapt for joy at the mere sight of them. They are back! Safe and unharmed! How faithful is the Lord my God!
'i lift up my eyes to the hills, from whence cometh my help? My help cometh from the Lord; maker of heaven and earth.'
As to why i cant get them on the hp.... Elizabeth dropped it ... into the waves... Yupe...they went jogging at the seaside, at the wee hours in the morning.... I could only thank the Lord for His protection over them.
