I wonder if that "+ DAY" number (now being 11) will rise to 365 where we started LONG ago? I am sure it will, but I wonder if we will wait for our mission call until we are married 41 years? When our bishop said "soon" on Sunday, 365 days is not as long as 80 years.
Just talked to my sister and she was urgently wondering why I had not called her. Then I told her was in the "soon mode" and that we are still waiting. She was amazed, frustrated, and even laughed at our discomfort. She said it would come, but didn't know how many "soons" we would have to experience. Maybe it will be many periods of 80 years?
At work, I have many people coming into my office daily asking, "Did you get your call?" So, what I have done is I have acquired a paper plate, written NO on the middle of it, and posted it on my desk. So when anyone comes into my office they won't have to ask. When we do finally get it, I will remove the plate and everyone will know. That way I won't have to tell them that I am still pregnant. (See yesterday) Scott came in today, and the "NO" sign was not where it was last night. He started jumping up and down asking where we were going. False labor, I guess. I re-
posted the sign.
As each day passes, I can feel gratitude that we are one day closer to receiving our call. You have to look at these things positively. One day closer. This morning while I was driving to work, I thanked Father for all the line items that are listed on the Blue Print of my mortality. Some of the line items listed there are as follows: Bonnie, Brigham City, Patience, Being Pregnant, Unemployment, Crushed disk in my back, Kidney stones, Spur in my neck, High Priest, Teaching Priesthood and Young Adults, Different places to work, Financial challenges, Being a Bishop, Having six kids, Mexico as a missionary, etc.
If you have ever seen a blue print, it lists, as line items, all the parts that are needed to create that product. So, all the line items that I need to be or to learn, what Father is trying to create out of me, is listed as a line item. I know many of them, but I know that there are more line items that I know not of. Of course our mission is one further item that we will share on OUR blue print.
My grand son Sammy was so excited yesterday about our mission call. He reported that as he checked the mail yesterday it was not there, but then he explained how the brethren were doing things and that as they do things, then our mission call should come today. He was sure of it. He was excited to get the mission call from the mailbox today. We shall see, "Except ye become as a little child..."
