Waking up and remembering an experience

As I was going through the letters from me to Peter while in Basic, I thought about all the things I wrote to him. Then I came across a letter [its not the Letter that is important, but my reason for writing the letter] that reminds me that my Heavenly Father has a hand in all things. There are reasons for everything that we do and everything that happens. I had a great dream about this, and woke up this morning VERY thankful for everything that I have and for everything that has happened since I met Peter.

After having a problem with our car, I had tried calling EVERYONE I could think of, with no real answers as to why I could not take care of it myself. The Financial Company responsible for the Loan on Peters car were being nothing short of JERKS, and I was at my wits end. My sister-in-law was getting frustrated as well, even though I felt like i needed to take care of this whole situation without involving Peter [who was in the MIDDLE of Basic Training in OKLAHOMA]. I also was hesitant to call his Battery Commander, even though he told us to contact him for anything, becasue I didnt want Peter to get into trouble at all. I am the worlds biggest fraidy cat of getting in trouble. dont ask why, I have no idea why im like that. Anyway, I prayed about what I should do, and kept feeling like I needed to call the BC. With Erika standing next to me, I made that VERY frightening phone call. After 2 rings I heard "......Wannebo" [I cant tell you what the .... stands for becasue my mind only heard Wannebo] I sat there dumbfounded for about 5 seconds, and then said "Peter?", and burst into tears when I heard that wonderful voice say "Baby???". Of course I looked at Erika and thought OH my gosh, im going crazy. She was laughing as she said "Dont cry... just Talk!". I managed to get out what I needed to and as he wrote it down on his pad of paper on the other side of the phone, someone walked in and told him to hang up the phone [They are not supposed to get personal calls]. I waited a minute got over the shock that I had called and actually was able to speak to the one person I really wanted to, and called back. This time another Private answered the phone, and i left a message with him to have the BC call me back if he could. Then i asked if Peter got in trouble for answering the phone and it being me, to which he responded 'yeah he got chewed out for a minute, but its ok now". After I hung up, I thought and couldnt stop thinking about what a tender mercy the Lord had shown me. He knew I needed to just hear Peters voice and I would be fine.

Everything with the car was so screwed up, and we eventually got it all taken care of but I will NEVER forget that day and that phone call.

Just remember that the Lord has a plan for us all. Heavenly Father is never the one who moves away from us, he is constant and always there. We just need to be better on our end about talking to him and most importantly, Thanking him for everything we have.
