About 6 weeks or so ago...I realized that I had lost one of the most treasured things I owned...MY BIBLE! It was the most amazing life application study bible in blue leather and silver pages and in my favorite new living translation.
This bible was not just any bible but it was the bible that I took with me
to Africa on both mission trips, it was the bible where God had spoken to me so many times and I had listened, it was the bible that looked like a colorful rainbow due to all my highlights and notes, it's was the bible that God had used to confirm to me in Jerimiah that Carlos was in fact"the one", it was the bible that had water spots on pages due to tears I shead when I spent time reading it.
The last time I saw it was when I took it to church, sat through service...and that was the last time i saw it. I have gone to the lost and found at church for six weeks straight looking for it but had no luck. I cant imagine someone stealing a bible at church and a bible that had my name plastered all over it...but having worked at a christian bookstore for 2 years, I know people do steal bible (how unbelievable, I know) But regardless of if I misplaced it somewhere or someone did in fact steal it, I am praying that somehow I get my bible back. I have now stopped looking for it, just thinking that if it is meant to be, I will find it.

I hope you find it, I will pray with you. If I see it anywhere while I am there I will hold it and take it to the church office and contact you.
