Sudan: Day 2

Coby and the team he is with have landed in Uganda as of 11:30 am this morning after flying the friendly skies for 24 hours.  I'm assuming he doesn't have service in Uganda b/c he spent some time hunting down a device that would allow him to skype us from the airport and  hotel.  I received a text from him from someone else's phone saying that they were very tired and were going to bed and didn't think they would have the opportunity to contact us for a few days.  I am relieved they have landed.  I am sad though.  I didn't realize I would feel this lonely.  Because of the 2 weeks we spent away from our home a couple of weeks ago due to the fire, I decided to stay in Frisco.  My mom is coming  up Sunday through Tuesday and my friend, Sara, is coming up for a day or two next week.  I had plans to meet a friend at the Snowcone Lady's hut but had to cancel b/c of Sophia's strep.  We should be able to go to play time and dinner with other wives left at home tomorrow night.  I think it will get better.  I'm not going to lie though, I have to lay my fears down constantly.  My mind wanders.... You know, it's not the safest place in the world!! 

Last night, I didn't sleep.  Sophia coughed, a lot, Cora woke up for some strange reason and wouldn't go back down, the timer on the oven went off at 3:00am (remember, it's a new oven), the wind blew so hard that it shifted my house and made a loud noise and woke myself and Cora up once again.  My alarm went off at 6:00 accidently and by the time I sortof got back to sleep at 6:30, all 3 girls were up and ready to begin the day.  So I am looking forward to sleep tonight and a much more peaceful day tomorrow.

Read John 17:13-21 and pray that for my husband.  Thank you for praying for him and supporting this trip.  I believe any time we give financially, pray for others and the gospel, etc that we are storing up treasures in heaven.  So for that, I can't wait for you (whoever you are who reads my blog) to receive your eternal treasure for praying on behalf of my family and this trip!
