Waiting and Wandering...

You know between being pregnant and nursing you don't get the chance much, so I fasted for the second time in a LONG time. Anyway, a man in our ward had been battling cancer so I was fasting for him and his family... Well it was a surprise the feelings and emotions that I experienced throughout the day, but one instance in particular was a truly amazing experience. Logan had stayed home sick and kept Abby with him. Emma and I went to church. I dropped Emma off at nursery and went to Sunday School. During Sunday School I had some really intense feelings that something was wrong. I kept thinking Emma had somehow gotten out of nursery and was wandering around lost somewhere waiting to be found. I was sitting in the middle of a middle row so I didn't want to get up and walk out to check on her if I didn't have to. So I closed my eyes and said a prayer. Just asked to know if I needed to check on her now. I got a distinct feeling of peace... But I still knew something was wrong. It took a while but a thought crossed my mind and I thought I knew what was wrong. I didn't know for sure until later that night when I was telling Logan about my experience. But as I was telling Logan the thoughts and feelings came soooo strongly that I couldn't deny it. It wasn't Emma that had been wandering around the church waiting to be found... It was another little spirit, farther away, ready to join our family...
