Where or where could my little one have gone???

Samantha is my little escape artist!! I literally have had to put a lock on my front and garage doors that can only be opened with a key. But that still only keeps her in when it's locked. Today we were getting ready to leave to go to the girls tumbling class, she was in the car and Heather was trying to find her shoes. I went in for a minute, came out and was ready to leave when Heather said "Mom, where is Samantha?" I was sooooo mad. I have talked with her a trillion times about stranger danger and the buddy system and how it totally freaks me out when she runs off, but Samantha marches to the tune of her own drum. I yelled for her, ran back in side an called for her (which some of you know, sometimes she wont even answer. which is also scary because you have no idea if she is home or not... and time is of the essence!) I drove all around the neighborhood. I came back home not able to find her and saw her walking up the street sad because she thought I left her. HOLY COW!!! So today I got on the Internet and bought a tracking system that goes on the back of her pants (so she cant take it off ). It's suppose to tell me when she is out of range (better know as when she is running off!!) I can't even tell you how frustrating it is. I am so worried for her safety and I am doing all I know how, but I still keep loosing her. I just know she has angels working over time. They all have to take shifts because it is such a full time job keeping her safe!!! I am just grateful for a Heavenly Father that is mindful of her needs as well as mine. And I pray that even when she does get away she will ALWAYS be found.

Being able to see Heathers little Arayla be born was truly an answer to my prayers. Sometimes we don't even realize that God is listening to us, when all the sudden the desire we haven't even taken to the lord purely because we think it impossible, the lord makes it possible.

For me, it was my desire to be there for my sister that he heard. For many months I had an ache to be there with her at the hospital when she delivered. Thinking that this was impossible I would quickly push away my feelings for fear I would hurt to much if I hoped and it didn't come true. The day that Heathers watter broke Mom called me and told me what happened. She said she was taking the first flight out to be with her. I told her to call me when she got there and hung up.After hanging up I had a strong feeling "Go with her." I couldn't believe that God was telling me to go with my mother. How? Seems to always follow when God tells us to do something we see as impossible. Having faith I went to work.

It was truly a miracle! in a matter of an hour I was able to buy a ticket that "happened" to be the last seat available. Find people to help out when done was working which "happened" to be a week that was really light with only a couple of shifts. Which as you all know is not usually the case. So I hopped on the plane with my Mom and I was able to be with my sister who has always been one of the most important people in my life. My prayers were answered. I feel so much love from my Heavenly Father. I also learned a very important lesson. God wants us to talk to him about everything! From now on I will not decide to pray for only what I think God will think of as important but I go to him for everything.

I love you Heather. Thank you for letting me be with you for such an amazing moment in your life, and thank you for being my sister.
