Out of the Blue

I saw a new, black Nokia 6020 on my table when I came home yesterday and my heart skipped a bit. Soon after, my father came back and told me that the phone is for me! He had changed a mobile plan and had a free phone which he wants to give me, wow.. I had been thinking about 'upgrading' my phone cos it could not contain my expanding list of contacts. To think my little wish, and no I did not pray about it would come through in this BIG way- my Dad! I'm blessed...:)

"Did I perplex people who couldn't quite comprehend my determination? I must have, but I'm thankful for the times in my life when I've been persistent." Lori Wick Yes I must have perplexed my close ones when I chose and continue to be doing what I'm doing-'charity work, getting low pay etc..' I'm learning recently about persistence, to "run with the endurance the race set before us" (heb 12:1). That the author said she was thankful for the times in her life when she had been persistent surprised me. I've never thought that persistance was any thanksgiving, but like the author, i guess i would if i continue to run with persistence:)
