Day 9

Yesterday and today I had some nice visits. Thanks to all who have taken the time to come here or give me a call on the phone. It's very sweet and very much appreciated. Today I also got some fun treats- pineapple that tasted like candy and some yummy rice pudding. I'll get nice and fat by the time I'm done here!

I was just reading my scriptures in the last chapter of Mormon where Moroni writes to those who believe that miracles have ceased. He sounds pretty frustrated as he pretty much pleads for us to remember that God is unchanging, and if he ceased to do miracles God would cease to be God.

Now, I know miracles haven't ceased. I've had many miracles in my life and have seen miracles in the lives of those around me, but I think we all need reminders of everything, even if we already know them deep down. I think I needed this reminder. Things may not be going the way I planned, and they still may not go exactly the way I want. But I know we will see miracles in our little family. Everything will work out the way it's supposed to, and when it's all over we'll look back and see many miracles, big and small, that happened along the way. I also know that the Lord will hear our prayers, and if we put our faith and trust completely in Him, we'll be alright.

He's going to be hearing a lot from me the next little while. Sometimes I wonder if that's partly why this is happening, like He wanted to hear from me more. I think I needed some refining, and that's what I'm getting.
