Phone Call

Friday at 2:45 a.m. our phone rang. I raced to the portable phone base in the family room. NO PHONE!!!!! As I ran around wildly searching, I listened to our international agency co-director say she has a question for us.... She was calling from Ethiopia and in their time-zone it was around noon, but the only way to contact her was via email. Unable to call her back and unable to sleep, we drummed up a litany of questions she might have for us, all the while hoping she giving us a referral. It was a loooong night!
We were very excited, as we had recently agreed to accept a referral based upon her good judgement and information gleaned from available paperwork. This phone call could very possibly be our referral and we missed it! UGH!!
