Have a Little Faith

I'm sitting here at work on the couch  listening to the Forgotten Carols with my headphones in, while the girls watch a movie. I can't help but have this over whelming desire to tell you how I feel about my Savior Jesus Christ and my Father in Heaven.

I don't know if you have ever heard the song "I was not his father, he was mine" but it is an amazing song that talks about what it was like to be the Saviors earthly father.

I am so overwhelmingly grateful to be apart of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, I am so eternally grateful to have grown up in such a wonderful family and for having such wonderful examples in my life.
I'm sure every person reading this has gone through their own set of trials and hard times that they thought they would never get through, the times when it seemed like all hope was lost. For me, because of this gospel and because of everything my Savior Jesus Christ did for me I have been able to always see the light at the end of the tunnel, I have always been able to know that all will be okay. As I look back on my life, I can't help but be so humbly grateful for every single thing in my life; the good and the bad. I would not be who I am today if it wasn't for every single one of my trials and blessings, I wouldn't have been able to have helped the people I did, and I wouldn't have been able to become closer to my Heavenly Father, if I hadn't gone through my own personal trials. I know that in these last days, there are a lot of reasons to give up and to stop believing when you think all hope is lost, or when the static of the world or the adversary is so strong that you don't know which way is up or down. But I write this to tell you, keep pushing forward, even if your belief or faith is so small... keep pushing forward. When you face decisions in your life and are not sure which one is right, move forward with faith and trust that the lord will guide you. Because he will!


We will face times in our lives when we have two roads in front of us, and sometimes we have to just keep moving forward in both directions, and let the lord guide us, but we must first be willing to do his will, not matter what it may be.

I asked for an Angel, and I got Two...

This past weekend when I was on my way home from Salt Lake; I was driving on I-15 and I started hearing this weird noise coming from the front end of my car, then I felt a huge bump and a constant screeching. It was a true blessing that it all happened right as I was passing an exit, because I just veered off the exit ramp and was able to safely pull off. I pulled off to what seemed like the middle of no where. I immediately got out of my car and went to the right side of my car to see what was wrong; underneath the front end of my car had literally ripped off from the crazy high winds, and bent back underneath my right front tire.

I knew I needed to go call someone for help, and as I went back to my car... I locked my self out of my car.. with it still running and my phone inside... Now this was not a good combo for 1. a girl 2. lack of sleep due to a race that morning 3. already a bad day.  I'm sure most people would of immediately started looking for cars and people to help, but my first instinct was to pray. I started praying out loud asking that my door would be unlocked, that some how the lord would unlock my car, I said that same prayer in different ways probably 10 times, and each time I walked around my car and tried to open every single door.  I then asked that if it was possible for an angel to come and help me, after a while I of course started tearing up, every car that passed and didn't even acknowledge me would bring me more and more to a breaking point.

After about 30 minutes of trying to get someone to stop and help, I put my arms on top of my car and closed my eyes and rested my head on my arms. I opened my eyes back up to a mans voice saying "do you need help?" I looked up and there were two men in a truck... a towing truck. They happened to own a towing company, and were on there way to Filmore, and offered to help me for free. We got my car all hooked up to take it to there shop, and started on our way to Filmore. While we were on our way to their shop Scott the driver said that he was planning on leaving about 30 minutes prior to when he left, because someone need his help, but felt the need to wait a little longer... he then said "I think I was inspired to wait a little longer so that we could help you."

Most people might think that it was coincidence that these two men Scott and Joe came to help me, and most people might wonder why God wouldn't just open my door, wouldn't it be easier to do so, than to have someone else do the work... Well I say to them, as I was in a panic and praying that the Lord would open my door, and that he would send an angel to help me. I realized that The Lord always answers our prayers no matter what, but he always answers them in a way that we wouldn't expect, or in a way that we want. The lord answered my prayer that day... But instead of sending an Angel, He sent me two Angels.


He always answers, but not always in the way that we would expect.
