Wow. What a year already. I can't believe it's only the middle of January. Isaak's birthday is coming up and I didn't realize his birthday is on Sunday. Its only his second birthday and I'm already forgetting-it made me feel kind of bad. I haven't even ordered his presents off of amazon yet. I've almost completely converted to online shopping. We went to the mall a couple weeks ago to play at the playground and I realized I hadn't been to the mall in over a year. Weird. First of all I want to quote from the Book of Mormon. It's one of my favorite scriptures for many reasons. I learned to believe in miracles while I was on my mission in France. I learned that God always hears us even if it doesn't work out like we think and I learned that God speaks to me through sunsets. Whenever I feel like it seems too hard or the road is too bumpy-I'm prompted to go outside and the most beautiful transformation of color has transformed the sky.
Okay back to my quote, "For behold, I am God; and I am a God of miracles; and I will show unto the world that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and I work not among the children of men save it be according to their faith." (2nephi27:23) God works Miracles! I believe in Miracles. For many reasons--first being that my niece was diagnosed with a brain tumor on Monday. They surgically removed it on Tuesday and by the end of tonight she is on the road to a great recovery. God hears prayers. I've had some other trials since this year begun and they haven't immediately been resolved or fixed. They are trials that linger, but I believe in miracles. God will make good with what has happened. He will help mend our paths for the best.
Even if I forget birthdays. Even if I'm not perfect. Even if I whine a little when I think it's hard. So 2011 has started out with a bang--maybe you could say it's coming in like a lion, but I hope it turns into a little lamb!
