Lots of happy moments to keep me going today...my next surgery is scheduled for this coming Thursday, so I will take all of the happy times I can get this week! David's aunt told me today "you know the saying, when life gives you lemons, gotta make lemonade" I said "yeah I am pretty sure I could fill an entire SWIMMING POOL with how much lemonade I have made in the past few months!" we both got a good laugh out of that! There was one really meaningful happy moment today and so I will share that with you, and then try to get some sleep :-)
Yesterday was Fast Sunday for our church. It is a day that we go without food for 24 hours and try to reflect and pray for spiritual strength about certain things we would like to have happen in our lives. Of course I prayed that my surgery would go well, but I also prayed and prayed about my calling. I have a really difficult assignment for my congregation. I am in charge of putting together EVERY musical number for our Sunday program EACH Sunday. Well, I have done pretty well so far this year, but as the year is ending, I have asked pretty much every musical person I could think of to perform at least once, and the thought of trying to put a musical number together, gather people to practice, and get it all done by Wednesday was overwhelming me so much. So I prayed....( and this comes after watching General Conference talks all about how if you pray for something specific, and you are humble and worthy, God will not deny you the sincere prayer of your heart) I prayed that someone would call me and OFFER to sing this Sunday at church....and that's exactly what happened tonight! We have two new sister missionaries in our ward and one of them is musical! She called tonight and was wondering if she could do a musical number she had on hand this coming Sunday. I did what I usually do in these situations as of late...I cried....a lot LOL! I am so grateful for this tiny miracle! What a sweet reminder that in times of need and times when you are looking up and asking for help, God WILL be there, he will hear you, and he will give you what you NEED. I truly needed a musical number this Sunday because our dear bishop has asked for me to provide one each week when we do NOT have a Fast Sunday. I cannot tell you how many times I have been told "oh I will call you about that" or flat out "sing? um no thanks" So I am so truly thankful for someone feeling inspired to volunteer when I need it the most. Hopefully I can find some people to agree to next month, but for now, I am going to take my miracle happy moment and enjoy the warm fuzzy feeling I have inside! Have a great week!
