Chamber Orchestra

Music is a miracle. I LOVE it! I went to the Chamber Orchestra concert on campus, and loved every minute.

Transcendant Peace

Sublime feeling: The peace of the temple. I'm so grateful I had the opportunity to go this morning. There's nothing quite like it. It's a foretaste of heaven.

Phoenix

A truly sweet miracle: I'm beginning to be excited about things in my life. In 2007 I had some experiences that seemed to suck all the energy and life and happiness out of me. But now I am starting to find things that get me excited. I'm beginning to express my excitement without being ashamed or worried. I still have a ways to go, but if feels so nice to feel again. And to act, rather than living in fear. Music is coming to life inside me; I'm dancing in the living room; I'm having too much fun to go to sleep. I'm doing things I haven't done in a really long time, yet I'm moving on from the past. Holding on to the good and letting go of everything else.

It feels GREAT!

Statistics / 2 = Happy

Miracle: My statistics test took half as long as I thought it would.
Miracle: I became friends with someone who previously intimidated me.
Miracle: I practiced everything that I have been procrastinating.
Miracle: I am getting better at the guitar!
Miracle: The sun was beautiful and the sky was clear.

Revelation, Heroes, Friends and Family

I received personal revelation today during church. I felt the Lord telling me that any time someone was entrusted in my stewardship, I should go beyond the minimum for helping them. Go the extra mile, do more than what's expected. I went visiting teaching after church, and was given the opportunity to do just that. The Lord keeps giving me answers just hours (or minutes [like my "Patience is the key to success" answer]) before I need them. That is a wonderful miracle.

I was carried by my dear friend across a giant snow bank, so I wouldn't have to walk through the snow myself. =)

I visited a friend I've had since Kindergarten, and we can still laugh together just as hard as we used to.

I have the cutest little siblings ever. And there's nothing better than a child expressing pure, innocent and simple love.

All Better

Miracle that DID happen today: Swing dancing in the kitchen! Even better! As well as in the living room. Life is great.

Miracle: I cooked a delicious omelet.
Miracle: I have a friend who is patient and caring enough to teach me to cook.

Almost Miracle

The miracle that almost came true...swing dancing in the living room.

Awake!

I would like to use this blog again. I will give it a try. =)

The absence in writing is due to the mission I served in Florida. I'm so grateful I went! In the words of my new dear friend Ryan:

"We weren't talking about miracles - we were living 'em."
