Sunday morning before we left for church he got an email from someone who found it, asking to meet up to return it. We hadn't thought it was gone yet to even pray for its safe return.
Monday night he met the person at the bus station they found it at to get it back. And we are in awe of God's goodness. First, it was not found even in the area of town where Bob lost it, but much closer to our house. Someone seems to have picked it up, rode a bus into town, and then themselves lost it at a bus stop further down the route. Or maybe whoever found it first didn't like the book selections on it and dumped it somewhere else. Second, of all the people in Orlando to find it and email us, it was someone we knew from church! What a surprise to meet them at the bus stop!
Bob has his Nook back safe and sound and we are in awe.
God is Good!

Thanks for your entry at our True Story site. That was an amazing happening for the Lord to do for Bob. WOW !
Welcome to Soli Deo Gloria! I can't wait to get to know more of your story. I got the comment with the link that your husband wrote and will definitely make time to read it.
Please let me know if you'd like to get plugged in with a SDG small group!
Welcome to SDG- looking forward to getting to know you more! Love how God shows up in practical ways and reminds us He's got it all under control. Hooray for lost things found!
I came over from Tell Me a Story. I love your blog and your hearts...
My daughter is a "failed" Missionary too. I put it in quotes, for the same reason you do. She moved to South Africa when she was 19. All alone. She eventually married a South African and she and Niel had a large missions ministry. Long story short. 11 years into their marriage he had an affair with an American woman on their staff. He left the ministry and divorced Alece. She's now back in the States. Picking up a new life.
I'm sure there were many times she feels like she was a "failed" missionary. Nothing is further from the truth.
God bless you and your family and all you do for God's Kingdom and especially Bible translations!
Diane, thanks for the encouragement, I'm glad you are able to see the big picture we are writing about. THis weekend I heard of a possible avenue for me to continue working through my blogging, time will tell and God is good!
