Proof

I have proof that angels do indeed exist.

My husband has traveled for the last two weeks and the combination of a traveling husband + 4 kids + being 35 weeks pregnant has proven to be difficult. When he left again this last week I found myself in tears kneeling in my bed pleading with the Lord that he would give me the strength to make it through.

I am overcome with emotion right now at the literal angels who have helped me through the last two weeks and the answer to prayer that has been poured out upon our little family.


In the last two weeks we have been the recipients of 3 dinner invites, 2 lunch invites as well as some beautiful flowers dropped on my front step and today I came home to some AMAZING cinnamon rolls.

I can't begin to explain the joy and thankfulness that has filled my heart. Sometimes being far from family is lonely and hard but for the first time in years I feel like part of a family. I am so grateful for the amazing people that fill my life here and I am thankful that they were all close enough to the Spirit to follow quiet promptings that led them my way these last few weeks.

I also had a testimony building experience at McDonald' s of all places the other night. I had taken the kids there for dinner to meet up with a friend. Little did we know that two other families that we knew would show up as well. When it was time to go Morgan could only find one of her shoes. I searched and searched but could not find it anywhere. I was not about to go get my pregnant belly stuck in the tubes looking for it so I had just decided to give up and put the kids in the car. Abby came up to me and said, "Mom, we should say a prayer." I told her that it was ok and we just should go but she went and knelt down on the ground behind the shoe case and said her own little quiet prayer. She stood up and came over and said, "Mom, I said a prayer I know we will find it." Just then one of the wonderful husbands of one of the families that was there popped his head out of the tube with Morgan's shoe in his hand. Abby's face lit up as she knew her prayer had been answered.

It was such a special reminder to me that even in the most minor of circumstances even in McDonald's if we just show a little faith and ask for help our Heavenly Father is anxiously waiting to help. And even in your darkest moments when you find yourself in tears and are not sure how you are going to make it through, he is there as well. And even though he can't literally be here by my side he will send his angels that come in the form of everyday amazing friends to do as he would if he were here to do it himself.

So thank you to all you wonderful people who have been an answer to my pleading. Thank you to my friends who I consider family. Thank you my Heavenly Father who I know hears and answers my prayers. Thank you to my daughter who was an amazing example to me. My prayer is that I will always strive to be on the Lord's errand and follow the promptings that may seem so little but most likely are a much bigger deal to the one you end up helping.
