Day 220: Waiting, distracting, and praying

So, my husband has been out of contact again today. It is the most distracting thing for me to deal with. Just when I want to concentrate on something, I get distracted thinking about Ian, wondering if he is okay. Once I start thinking about him, I automatically pray for his safety and protection. It takes a few minutes, but once that is done I try to get back to whatever I am doing. I continue to wait, minute after minute, hour after hour, day after day for that precious phone call or email from my husband telling me is is doing okay.

Today as I was on the computer, my Skype popped up showing me that someone came online. My heart skipped a beat thinking it might be Ian, but I was disappointed to see it was someone else. That made me pause again and just say a little prayer for my husband, his team of soldiers he works with, and all our military in harms way, just asking for all their protection.

I am working on a cake tonight for Lyssa's (my best friend at this post) son, Timmy. She has a tendency to come up with some grand ideas, and when she asked me to make a cake for her son's 3rd birthday, I knew it would be something that tested my creative and cake making abilities. I was right. She wanted a cake that had two buildings with Spider-man swinging between them. I was pretty excited about it because I love the challenge and I love to see if I can do it. It has been over a month since I last made a cake and was happy to do it. Plus, I knew that I would learn from this cake and if it didn't look like it was supposed to, she would forgive me. So far I have the cake ready to decorate tomorrow. I am not sure about if it is going to turn out like I want it to, but we will see. Pictures to come tomorrow.

I made it through another day. I distracted myself long enough to finish the day without losing it. I call that a success. I know I am getting closer to seeing him again and I am anxiously awaiting that day.
