there really are miracles....

miracles, i believe, mostly come in small packages...
here are some examples....
ashley and i were supposed to go to california and some nasty snow storms were coming through utah...
it was supposed to snow through thursday night, when we were supposed to leave....
i was a little nervous that the roads would be snowy and icey.....
but our prayers were answered and the roads were clear the whole way....

last weekend, ashley and i drove to california....
i was a little worried because driving long distances is not my strong suit....
as i was driving, i got all teary-eyed and told ashley that i felt that god was protecting us and helping me stay awake to drive all these hours....
granted, i had ashley to spell me when i needed it, but i couldn't believe how alert and awake i was for that long of driving....

from the time that kelsy jordan got her mission call, i felt impressed to offer to go through the temple with her....
her mom was able to go too, but wanted me to be her escort....
what a beautiful temple and beautiful experience....
the san diego temple is breath taking, both inside and out....

kelsy gave a great talk....
it was short and sweet and to the point...
i was able to see the beautiful spirit and testimony that kelsy possess....
i was grateful to see that side of her...

the drive home was done in one long day.....
but, we made great time.....10.5 hours includes stops....
ok, so maybe we booked it home....
but, god protected us again and helped us both be alert and awake when we needed to be...

these may seem trivial, but to me they are small miracles and i know that god had a hand in helping us be the recipients of these small miracles....
for that, i am grateful!
