Oh Me of Little Faith!

The lost camera blues really had me down, so I decided I needed to just move forward. I found a camera shop and purchased a new 7 megapixel Panasonic Lumix that's small enough to fit in my pocket (hence, harder to lose!). I even bargained the woman down, and talked her into throwing in a 1 gig memory card for free.

Then, when walking past the Internet Cafe I'd been in last night, they came running out to tell me they'd called the woman who was working last night, and she told them where she'd hidden my camera that I left behind!!!!! I was thrilled! All of my 700+ photos and the nice camera instantly back in my hands! Woo hoo!!!

But then there was the new camera -- the one I'd just bargained for with the woman saying, "At this price, no returns. No exchanges." I went back to show her I'd found my lost camera (only 20 minutes had passed since I bought the new one), but she stuck by her terms of sale and guilted me into sticking by it too. So I'm out some precious cash, but now the owner of two nice cameras.

In retrospect, I should have waited till I'd spoken directly with the woman who was working at the Internet Cafe last night. Guardian angels seem to be taking this entire trip along with me, watching out for me (and apparently my posessions too!), so I should have trusted them on this camera issue. Big thanks to my mom who has had her entire Sunday School class remembering me in their prayers since I took off. Mom -- let everyone know it's working!!

May God bless each one of you today too!!
