Prayer and Gratitude

First of all its been quite awhile since I've last posted. Second, I know that I've posted about prayer before, but lets face it, the the amazing power of prayer will never change.

To update, I was not accepted into the RAD Tech program at Weber and even though I was quite devastated, I know it was for the best. I was able to learn a lot and my payers were answered through various ways. Some things and opportunities have happened since my experience with applying and I feel that they have all been very beneficial for me. I couldn't be any happier than I am right now.

I met the most amazing person a few months ago and am so happy and grateful to have him in my life. I was able to spend a week with my whole family and reunite with them which made me realize how much I am grateful for them, their love, and support. Going through difficult times doesn't seem as difficult when you are surrounded by friends and family who love you. I have some amazing roommates who continue to be patient with me and I know that it's not always easy.

I know the Lord hears my prayers. In my Doctrine and Covenants class we recently talked about the ways that the Lord answers prayers. Prayers are answered through: self, others, visions, and sometimes the Lord himself. I truly believe my patriarchal blessing when it says the the Lord is mindful of me. I do not doubt that the hears and answers my prayers. It has been amazing for me to see the different ways the Lord has answered my recent prayers. I feel confident in the love that He has for me and trust that what he tells me is for my benefit whether it be yes, no, or not now.

I know that I would not be the person I am today without my Heavenly Father and his patience, support, and love. I am so grateful for the knowledge I have that I can communicate with my Heavenly Father and know that he hears every single prayer offered up to him. What amazing peace it brings to my mind to know that.

I hope to do a little bit better at posting. But remember to always smile and keep a positive attitude :D
