God answers when we do our part....

This post is going to be kind a vague.  But it's what is on my mind today as it was fast and testimony meeting and King J and I were fasting for something that may drastically change our future, but aren't quite ready to share what it is yet.

There have been many times in my life when I have sought an answer or direction for my/family life.  I am grateful for parents who taught us the power of prayer along with fasting to unleash the blessings and guidance from our Father in Heaven.  It is amazing how he always answers.  For me it is usually through the testimony or actions of others around me.

 

Today those answers came through 2 separate sisters sharing their simple testimonies.  One talked about how when we exercise true faith and let Heavenly Father know exactly what we need, even if it seems impossible, he will answer.  And she said while looking directly at me.  The Holy Ghost spoke directly to my heart and testified that it was truth.

 

The second was a sister who had just returned from serving a mission with her husband and had gone to the sacrament service at the stake center this morning as they had to report to the high council.  She shared part of a testimony she had heard that morning. 

There had been a house fire on the 23rd of December and the house was gone.  The sister that shared said she was amazed at the miracles their family had witnessed amid the trials.  The morning after the fire they went back to the house and everything was gone.  Then had to leave in the night with only the pj's on their backs.  She realized they her purse had been left in their bedroom and it had all of their id's and keys and everything that said who they were.  They were devastated.  They turned to leave and the purse was sitting in the truck.

This sister shared how God is always willing to give us miracles.  He continues to make seemingly impossible things possible through our trust and faith in him.

 

I am excited for the future and I KNOW Heavenly Father will take care of our family.

 I am ready to exercise faith in him and his power to bless us even when it seems we need to take a leap into the darkness and allow him to show his hand.
