We had a great family Valentine celebration, for the most part. Tony took us to Yamato Japanese Restaurant. We love watching them cook & send up the fire. (One of our favorite songs is Send Down The Fire by the Primitive Quartet. We sing it every time we see fire. :)
Then we went to H H Gregg to look at televisions. While we were there my cell phone got stolen. Collin used my cell phone to call Tony about a cell that was at the front of the store. I took Collin & Faith to the restroom. Collin took it in the stall with him. A lady came in talking up a storm, she seemed real nice. She went in the stall after Collin. I asked him where my phone was & he said that he left it in the stall. (She could hear us talking.)
After she came out, I went in to look for it, it was gone. I checked Collin's pockets & jacket one more time (cause I thought "I know that lady didn't take it, she was so nice.) By the time We got out the restroom, I scanned the store, no sign of her. I went to both desks asking if someone turned it in., Nothing.
We told Tony, he started calling. She answered 2 times, but didn't say anything & hung up. To make a 2 hour story short, we talked to the police & deactivated it.
We prayed for that lady several times, because she either isn't saved or is so far away from the Lord. Collin feels like it's his fault. I assured him that it was not.
This was a huge teaching lesson about why I won't let them wonder off in a store alone. Thieves don't always look scary & may be very kind. I praised God that it was only my phone that was stolen & my babies were safe.

After this eventful trip, Tony took us to Starbucks. The kids got a "milkshake" & we got coffee & just had fun talking.
Needless to say, I praised God some more & I hugged my kids just a little tighter & longer before going to bed.
