Lost and Found

I'm really grateful that I found my wallet today! I absolutely needed to have it by today, as I am substituting for a few college classes and needed my ID. It had been lost for about two weeks. After losing patience several times, I got on my knees this morning and humbly asked if I could please find my wallet. Two minutes later, I found it on the floor under my desk.

I'd looked there several times and I'm sure it wasn't there before. I feel so lucky to have my Heavenly Father looking out for me. I'm really grateful that he's always there when I need help, and even when I don't. My goal this month is to put him first and really show him my gratitude by choosing to serve him.

Peace

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” (John 14:27.)

I'm so grateful to know that God doesn't want us to be afraid. He brings us hope and love and peace. I know that when I'm struggling the most I can turn my pain and mistakes over to my Savior and he will give me peace.

Christmas

I am so grateful for the love and generosity that I've felt this season. My family has been so blessed by multiple others. I've been completely stunned at how the Lord has looked after me personally. I've been tried and stretched in the past weeks and have come through it with a firm testimony of Father's guidance.

This upcoming year my resolution is to be the best instrument in the Lord's hands that I can be. I want to bless others' lives as much as I have been blessed!

newspaper

I am grateful that I was able to breathe when I woke up this morning and that my brother was willing to wake up ridiculously early to help me with newspapers.

Relief is like a heart attack

I am So grateful I passed my test! I'm grateful for the guidance that Father has given me all throughout my education. He led me carefully and I learned to trust him to take me where I need to be. I'm grateful that I didn't get answers the way I wanted them.

After I found out I passed the NCETMB, I got horribly sick from all the stress I'd caused myself. I beat myself down and told myself I couldn't pass. I paid dearly for mistreating myself, but I'm still grateful for the lesson.

I am a daughter of God and he loves me and will help and guide me. Feelings of inadequacy and pain are not from Him, but from the deceiver. I'm grateful for the remind. I intend to remember this time!

Denny's

Yesterday, I went to Denny's for the first time in a while. I was really grateful to the group sitting in the booth that I didn't want to be in, and I was grateful for the company I was with for being so nicely distracting.

Snowflakes

I'm grateful for the ability to take really hot showers during snow storms and for littlest sisters that remind me how fun it is to catch snowflakes on my tongue.
