My first blog post.

Okay here it is!!! My first blog post. I know I have started one before but I do not know where it went. Lost in cyberspace....So it is kindof a long and painful story about how this came to be, so I will spare you the details. Anyway I might try it and if it isn't too time consuming and might be of worth to at least someone besides me then I guess it's worth it. So the coolest thing happened to me yesterday. I was on Trax (my current mode of transportation (it's less costly and provides a little character)) and wow what to my surprise arose such a clatter...just kidding it wasn't Santa Claus but it was this man that worked at the exact place that I am trying to get a little part-time job at for the holidays. Anyway he told me about the company and how they will be interviewing this Saturday and he gave me the directions. I joke about that but that is the very thing that President Eyering talked about in his October 2007 Conference talk when he said "Have I seen the hand of God reaching out to touch us or our children or our family today?” He recalls how he saw his father-in-law serving their family while Elder Eyering was on a Church assignment and that he didn't have to do what he was doing. He said, "But he was serving us, his family, in the way covenant disciples of Jesus Christ always do. I knew that was true. And so I wrote it down, so that my children could have the memory someday when they would need it. More than gratitude began to grow in my heart. Testimony grew. I became ever more certain that our Heavenly Father hears and answers prayers. I felt more gratitude for the softening and refining that come because of the Atonement of the Savior Jesus Christ. And I grew more confident that the Holy Ghost can bring all things to our remembrance—even things we did not notice or pay attention to when they happened." The fact is that these are not rare occurances, the Lord constantly gives to him that asketh and I believe, as President Eyering stated, that He hears and answers our prayers. Mostly it is just in our asking. They are special tender mercies that the Lord gives that have built my testimony so that I can truly say that I had see hand of the Lord in my life today.
