Memories and empty toilet paper tube!

Last week Kenan came home from preschool with a piece of construction paper that I am supposed to use to put together a collage of pictures of him. They will hang that sheet up because today they were going to be celebrating Kenan's pretend birthday. His birthday is in June, and since she has so many kids to plan birthdays and pretend birthdays, she just randomly plans them. So, on Sunday I got the bright idea to put together a collage of pictures going from infancy to now. That was a great idea right? I take the flash drive out of the fire safe and set it on the computer desk where it sat all day. Finally at 7:45 I sit down to do it, and I can't find the flash drive. I frantically search every where and I started crying. 2 years of pictures were on there! So many memories, that I won't ever get back! My poor hubby comes home and finds me crying, and frantically searching everywhere. I was praying and asking God to please just show me where it is or make it appear or something. I searched the garbage, and recycling inside and outside (ick!) Then Jeff, Hannah and Timmy started helping me look. We looked everywhere, even places where it just wouldn't be. I finally resigned myself to just stop looking for it. I thought, it'll be like everything else - it'll pop up after I finish looking for it. I spent all morning looking for it and this afternoon looking for it. As I walked through the house, I'd scan the rooms I went through. I kept going back to the fact that it was on the computer desk. Timmy even remembered seeing it there. Then I got worried it was lost in the recycling bin that got emptied today. I called Burt's Disposal and asked them if there was any way to find something that got lost, even though I knew she would say no. She did say no. While I was making lunch for the kids, Kenan told me that the toilet was plugged up. Then he said "just kidding! but there's no more toilet paper" So I go in, check the toilet and change the roll. I take the empty card board tube and thought, Timmy can use this for his project. He's making a diorama of a colonial fort. Then it hit me! We were making a diorama last night. Timmy's crayon box was on the desk! Maybe the flash drive got put in there on accident. So I went into Timmy's room, and sure enough, it was sitting in the crayon box! Hallelujah! My heart started beating so fast, I was so happy! Praise God! He jogged my memory with an empty toilet paper tube! I kept praying all night and day when I started worrying about the lost pictures, and I kept telling myself, that I just need to trust God. He'll reveal to me it's whereabouts in his own good time! Why he waited until 12:53 pm to jog my memory, I'll never know, but I found it! We are celebrating with Culvers tonight for dinner!
