WOW!

The spirit works in miraculous ways. You never know what it's gonna throw your way. I can't imagine anything being different right now, but if you'd told me that this would happen years, months, even weeks ago, I would have never believed you. I am so grateful for the gift of the Holy Ghost in my life. I have such a strong testimony of the gospel. There is no doubt in my mind that it is true. The past month or so were depressing. I didn't want to let go of my pain and grief and so it only grew stronger. It helped no one though! Then, we had a visit from Elder Pearson, a 70, and Elder Bednar, an apostle. I prepared the best I knew how to receive direction from the Lord. I left that night happier than I'd been in a long time & I never went back. The spirit heals if we allow it too. On only 5 hours of sleep, I worked a 12 hour shift the following day. Though I was in a school cafeteria with no air conditioning and people I don't particularly care to be around, I felt all day as if I were walking on clouds. I was tired, but I was whole! The next week was amazing. The Lord sees opportunity we never imagine and pushes us through the door if we let him direct. I'm so glad I listened. Even as I made the first several steps I was skeptical, but my faith overpowered my doubts until they all but disappeared. I am certain I am living the life the Lord wants me to right now. I look forward to each minute of each day of each month of each year to come. May you look for the Lord and recieve blessings in all things.
