Day 59 of 2017

I was able to have the energy today to go to the meeting I am one of the leaders on. I am so grateful the Lord gave me the energy for it. It was a great meeting and I felt the Spirit. I am grateful the Lord has given me this opportunity.

God Loves You!

Day 58 of 2017

The good Lord has given me a wonderful family. With how often I get sick I can't say it enough. My kids and my husband jump in and make up for me being in bed. I know it wouldn't go well long term but I am so grateful that they can pick up my slack for a few days while I rest in bed.

God Loves You!

Day 57 of 2017

Today I was able to get some rest. My wonderful husband took all responsibilities for me and let me crash. I hate being sick but knowing the Lord gave me a perfect help meet makes it easier.

God Loves You!

Day 56 of 2017

I went to a fundraiser for cancer today. This reminds me that the Lord has given me the blessing of my mom, cancer free. It has been 5 years since we thought we were going to loose her mortal body to cancer. She was at stage 4 when we found it. She fought it and beat it. I am so grateful she is still here and alive.

God Loves You!

Day 55 of 2017

Today I read some very uplifting talks and stories. I am so grateful that the Lord placed me in a country where I could receive an education and learn to read. Also, He gave me sight. I am not dependent on anyone to read for me or to give me directions. I am able to be independent. I am very grateful for that so that I am able to read things to cheer me up and to be able to write things to remember later.

God Loves You!

Day 54 of 2017

Today my mother was an angel in my life and listened to me while I whined and then came and took my youngest for a few hours to give me a break. I have not felt well and she was there for me. The Lord blessed me with a wonderful mother who doesn't know her worth but I know it is worth more than her weight in gold. I know I can always count on her. She is there for me always but today I paused to think of how often. I am very grateful for her support.

God Loves You!

Day 53 of 2017

Today we were able to pay the last payment on our trailer. It's  been a struggle but we did it. We own it free and clear and I was able to register it in our name. The Lord blessed us with the trailer in the first place and has blessed us with the income to pay for it. I am so grateful.

God Loves You!

Day 52 of 2017

Today I survived being a facilitator for a class. I have social anxiety and everything went wrong before the class so making it through the class and having it go okay was a miracle. I am very grateful the Lord was with me. I could not have done it without Him.

God Loves You!

Day 51 of 2017

The Lord helped me to go see my nephew. I have been wanting to see him and haven't gotten the chance since he had his surgery. The Lord prompted me and paved the way. We all made it safely there and back. I was very happy to see him.

God Loves You!

Day 50 of 2017

Today I was able to get caught up on some of the sleep I have been lacking. My husband was wonderful and kept the kids busy and away from our room so I could sleep peacefully. I am very blessed to have such a wonderful husband. The Lord knew he would take care of me and would treat me well. We are a perfect match.

God Loves You!

Day 49 of 2017

My nephew came home from the hospital! I am so grateful the Lord watched over him and that he was able to come home. A few weeks of recovery and he will be so much healthier and will be able to stay here on earth with us longer. I am so very grateful for this miracle.

God Loves You!

Day 48 of 2017

I was able to successfully navigate a big city in our state. I needed to take my brother-in-law to a meeting and I am not good at navigating. I said many prayers and trusted the Lord and we had no problem getting there or coming home. I am very grateful the Lord was with us.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 47 of 2017

Today I went to a meeting that was filled with good people. I received an answer to prayer that my husband would enjoy the meeting as much as me and would feel peace with the job we now have before us of helping to facilitate those who have needs in our area. I am so grateful the Lord answered my prayer and a prayer that was unspoken. I wanted to get a confirmation that this is where I was supposed to be and the Lord answered that prayer as well. I am at peace.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 46 of 2017

Today I was able to see my nephew smile from the hospital. What a blessing technology is! My sister-in-law sent me a video of him smiling and being cute. I am so grateful the Lord has blessed us with the technology to be able to capture moments and send them to loved ones. I was so happy to see him. It made my day.

God Loves You!

Day 45 of 2017

Today our family was blessed by the miracle of modern medicine. The good Lord placed my nephew here, in this day and age, and his life was saved because of modern medicine. My nephew suffers from a syndrome that we only have 5 known cases of in the world and needed to have surgery to "fix" temporarily his chest. It was caved in and would have crushed his heart as he grew. He had the surgery today and it was a success and he is resting now. I am so grateful he is still with us on this earth and will be for many more years because of skilled doctors, new technology and a loving God. What a miracle.

God Loves You!

Day 44 of 2017

Today I was able to exercise, which involved me running. I love running and I am so grateful the Lord blessed me that I can run and also gave me the time today to fit a run into my schedule. It made me feel good.

God Loves You!

Day 41, 42, and 43 of 2017

Busy days and nights so I am posting for three days in one.

41-I am grateful for the help I received all this week to take care of my niece and nephew. My brother and sister-in-law made it back from Montana safe and it was touching to see them with their children. All parties were happy to be together again and I am reminded of how grateful I am for being a forever family.

42-My husband and I were able to go to the store which gave us time alone. We haven't had time together without 6 kids for almost an entire week. I am grateful the Lord blessed us with this time. It helped my sanity.

43-Today we had a good sacrament meeting. The speakers were wonderful. I almost didn't go because of how tired I am but I needed to spiritually recharge and I was not disappointed. The speakers were wonderful and the Spirit spoke peace to my heart.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 40 of 2017

Today we had a good talk with our oldest and got to the bottom of some of her moodiness. I am grateful for the Spirit to help me as a parent when I need to calm my children down. I receive intelligence beyond my own and insight that is beyond my years. I am so grateful for the Lord's help with my parenting.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 39 of 2017

Today I listened to the Spirit and made arrangements for my girls to have a break. It has been hard for my children to share their house for so long. The Lord nudged me and let me know my girls needed some space. One was able to go on a date all alone with Daddy and the other two are staying the night with Nana and Papa, who will take good care of their needs. I miss them but I know that they need the space and I am grateful the Lord helped me know what to do and provided the family to help. My family has been a wonderful support. I am very blessed.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 38 of 2017

I am amazed at how much help from the Lord I have been receiving since Sunday. I have been taking care of two extra children and I have not gone crazy. The children are not bad but going from a family of 4 children to a family of 6 children is a jump. The adjustment has not been as hard as I was afraid it would be and I know it has nothing to do with me but everything to do with Heavenly help. I still have many days ahead as my visitors will not be leaving until Friday night. What a blessing to have such help.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 37 of 2017

The Lord helped me make it through the day. I only slept for 4 hours and I had two extra children to take care of. I know the Lord helped keep me awake and helped me be patient with all the children. Making it through the day was a miracle to me.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 36 of 2017

Today one of our little sunbeam class members was a little afraid to come to class. I felt bad for her. I listened to the Spirit and did what He said to do, which was to leave her alone to watch and see that we were not scary, and she warmed up to us. This was very good because then we had a great class. She was warm and participated and I think it was a good experience for all.

God Loves You!

Day 35 of 2017

Today when I went somewhere with RJ I saw a beautiful ring with my favorite color and it was on sale for a quarter of the price. This may seem silly to some but when I see things that, coincidentally, are like they were made just for me, I see them as a little gift from the Lord. I see it as a friendly reminder that He loves me and knows what I like. It makes feel loved.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 34 of 2017

I was prompted to take our Mimi some soup that I had made. She loves soup like I do and on a cold winter night there is nothing as comforting as a bowl of soup. I am very glad I listened because she didn't want to make herself some dinner and she wanted a little company. We supplied both by taking the whole family to give her dinner. She had a full kitchen and a full stomach (and hopefully a full heart). I am grateful I listened to the whispering of the Spirit becasue it did my heart good to be with her.

God Loves You!

Heather

Day 33 of 2017

Today I was able to spend time with my RJ. He stayed home from work unexpectedly so it was a nice little outing we had. I am grateful the Lord gave us this time together. It was good for both of us.

God Loves You!

Day 32 of 2017

Today I was able to still help my children with school even though I am in severe pain from stomach cramps. I am so grateful the Lord has prompted us to a school that is versatile enough that I can teach and help from a chair using my iPad or laptop. It was a great blessing to still get things done even though I was chair bound for a time.

God Loves You!
