This is how I feel inside.

This night was such a beautiful evening. It was warm and the kids were playing w/leaves. I brought the camera outside to take pictures as I cleaned out the flowerbeds. Well, here is one of them. So I worked and they played until it got dark.

It rained all night that night and all day the next day. That evening, Blair carved pumpkins with the kids and I went to the camera bag to pull out the trusty equipment ready to capture my kids and all the fun.

No Camera. Hmmmm...where did I leave the camera? Checked the kitchen counter. Checked the computer. All the sudden...I remembered. I didn't bring it in from outside. GULP. Raw Fear.

Out I go. Being very careful not to let anyone know what I'd done. This was news that I'd have to break to Blair on a VERY good day. I went out and got it. Brought it upstairs and hid it in my closet
I took out the memory card and battery and dried it all off.

I Googled "what to do if your camera gets wet" It'd looked pretty bleak.

Well....later that night....it worked perfectly. Not a glitch. Not a hiccup. I praised God. I laughed. I talked out loud to the Lord. You are so good to protect my foolishness. Relief. Thankfulness.

Almost 5 days later...it's still running wonderfully. My battery is good. My pictures weren't ruined. My Canon Rebel XTi is a GEM.

I was taking pictures of the boys in the leaves on Thurs. night and set my camera down. As I did it, I thought, "I better remember to bring it back inside.". Thankfully, I did. I'm so glad that your camera was OK :-).

I have the Digital Rebel too. Not one you want to have to replace!

WOW! That sounds like something I would do - and I would have the same reaction about telling Dan! I am so glad it still works. Just another opportunity to admit your humaness and praise a great God!

Oh, Praise the Lord. I can only imagine how that would feel.
