Wonderful Wednesday

Today, I saw my sister. 


I love her so much. It was so good to see her. It was actually a sweet tender mercy. Sister Lindsey is here at BYU for a FACS conference. We got together to go to lunch today and while we were sitting there my sister came up to say hello. 


Thinking about this gives me chicken skins. The Lord knows. He has a master plan. Our lives are in his hands and he knows what he is doing. I am so thankful for this reminder today that I have a Father in Heaven and a Savior watching out for me and keeping my life in line. It amazes me how the Lord coordinates each of our lives so that we can bless and serve and help each other. Times like these make me wonder how I can ever repay for the tender mercies and all-encompassing love I feel each day from Heaven.


Another thing that makes this Wednesday wonderful is that exactly 11 months ago Mckay left. One more month and he will have been out for a whole year. How has this happened? The last letter I received from him was so amazing. I can't believe how much he's learning and growing. He is so happy and continually says how much he loves being a missionary and how there is no where in the world he would rather be right now. It makes me so happy. He's so awesome. Period. My respect for him grows each time I hear from him. I am excited to see him and talk to him in 1 year and 1month. The end.


Cheers to a happy wonderful Wednesday!  

Miracles

I got a job!!

To list the amount of miracles that have happened since I have been in Provo would take a super long time. There have been so many amazing things happen that have strengthened my faith and given me hope for my future.

Getting a job is one of these miracles.

I have told everyone I know that I was looking for a job. Last week right before I left to go to Yellowstone my roommate told me that her boss was hiring. She told me to send her my resume and she would give it to her boss along with some good words about me. After I got back, on Tuesday, my roommate's Boss, Shawna, (now my boss too) called me to come in to interview with her the following day. Of course, Wednesday morning I was running late and I ended up being like 5 minutes late to my interview. I walked into the office feeling extremely stupid, but Shawna acted like nothing was wrong so I just went with it. We had the interview and during the whole thing I just felt like I wasn't presenting or portraying myself well so I walked away thinking oh well. At the end of the interview she said she had some other people to meet with and then she would let me know on Friday about the job. I went to the temple that night to help get my mind off of it and to pray really hard for a miracle.

Thursday was a super hard day. The stress was building and I don't have any responsibilities so I cleaned my whole apartment, did my laundry, worked out, read my scriptures and other books, went to the temple, and tried to stay positive and faithful.

I went to sleep Thursday night and I dreamed all night. Some of my dreams were that I got the job and some of them were that I didn't get the job. I kept waking up and wondering when Shawna was going to call me. So finally around 9:30 this morning my phone rang. I answered it and it was her. She asked if I wanted the job. I told her most definitely yes. They had put me on speaker phone because they all wanted to hear my reaction. Apparently they knew that I really wanted the job.

My roommate told me that after our interview Shawna said that she just knew that she needed to hire me. She said she was praying about it over the couple of days and again this morning and she just knew that I was the person she needed to hire. My roommate also told me that Shawna thought that I was confident and had a great interview. Shawna had actually felt bad because she felt sick earlier that morning and so she wasn't completely herself during our interview.

The Lord answers prayers and he most definitely takes care of his children. I am a witness of that.

So I am the newest employee of The Key Office. I work on campus issuing, tracking, and making keys. I am super stoked.
