Somewhere Out There

I am in desperate need of a great miracle, but I will be grateful for the small ones that let me know God is aware of my heart. I was missing a student's test. I said a prayer and was directed to another student's backpack. I noticed my camera battery was missing and I had searched everywhere but to no avail. I said a prayer and Rick found it. Noah had misplaced his DS cover. I had been completely through his room and nothing. I said a prayer and then checked one more place that brought me in view of his case. I know He is out there. I know He is aware of me and my exact circumstances. I know He can do miracles and He has a plan for me. I know He will see me through this trial. I just do not understand it right now, but I will say a prayer.

He Knows My Thoughts

How do I know Heavenly Father knows my thoughts? Evidence.

*We just returned from the dump. Now the water heater goes out. I thought, "I wonder how long that will sit by the side of our house." The doorbell rings. It is a man named Saul. He happened to be driving by and noticed the water heater. He gathers scrap metal and asked me if he could take it off our hands.

*I have been tutoring two times per week in which I have needed a sitter for Noah. It has always been my dread to have to call around and find someone. I think, "Heavenly Father, how can I do this?" He practically sends me my own live in babysitter.

*I am creeped out by spiders, ants, and any kind of bugs. Living in a basement apartment seems to be a haven for the creatures. In one hour, I swatted five big spiders and a pile of ants. (I try to leave them alone if I'm in their environment...but when they are in mine...) I think, "I hate this...if I find one more spider...Heavenly Father, how do I deal with this?" I am working out in the garage and I hear, "Mam...I am in your area and giving your neighborhood a special on Pest Control."

I know Heavenly Father is aware of me. I know He knows of my concern for the finances and the collection of past rent. I wonder all the time how this will ever be resolved. He knows. He knows and I trust He will provide the way.

Found!

I do not know how or where it happened. I looked down at my finger and noticed that my Brigham Young University ring was gone. I think of all the places and boxes my hands had been...I didn’t know if I would see it again. “Maybe some day when I go through the boxes, it will be at the bottom,” but some of those boxes went to Deseret Industries and some were discarded. Rick asked me to clean out his office closet. I wasn’t thrilled about that, but I agreed. I grabbed a plastic sack...almost threw it away and decided to use it for garbage. For whatever reason, I looked in the sack as I threw the garbage away. Something caught my eye...was it a dime? I took another peek and their at the bottom of an old grocery sack was my RING! I almost threw the sack away. I rarely check the garbage as I throw it away. I don’t usually take a second look for something as small as a dime....this time I did. JOY was knowing that Heavenly Father knew how important that ring was to me. Though it seemed like there was no hope of finding it, He prepared the way through a series of unusual events.

JOY is finding something I lost.
