• Figured out a lot about myself today.
• A friend told me that "to get a good guy, you have to be able to be alone first and be okay with it" I'm sooo glad I'm realllly independent and okay with being alone. (for now at least).

• Did puurrty good at my last performance tonight. K, no for reals.. this was the last one.

• Last week I got a prompting to tell the girls in my relief society while conducting, that we need to pray for each other. This week during testimony meeting, almost everyone got up and said they were going through some sort of trial. Coincidence? I think not.

• I had a lot of good solid conversations today.

• I got to sleep in for the first time in weeeeeks! wow, heaven.
• Both performances went well :)- except one thing... one of the girls skirts fell down to her ankles during the performance! She made the best of it and not a whole lot of people noticed, but it was SOO funny. She'll look back and laugh too I'm sure. We all kinda felt bad though because it's her birthday today :/ at least she wont forget this one.
• Mah mamma and papa came to see me dance today! Always fun to see them. Entertaining characters. I can tell they love me and are proud of me and they are always interested/fascinated with my life. I'm a lucky girl, a lot of people can't say that about their parental units.
• Realized I'll probably never fully grow up. I'm wearing sponge curlers tonight :) Ohhhh the little things that make me smile.
• I can honestly say that life is wonderful. I am soooo blessed.

March 24, 2011 I Saw His Hand Today...

• Woke up with energy! Don't know how that happened.
• Sold my first lotion at work worth $73. Hello commission.
• Made it work when I had to work in Provo at 4 and also had to be at ballroom practice in Orem on the other side of town with hair and make-up done at the same exact time, Don't know how that worked. Oooh yeah, this is when I see His hand in my life. Gratitude.
• Got through my first 8 hour shift at my new job surprisingly well.
• Opening night for our UVU ballroom concert was a pretty good hit. Didn't mess up! My coach said she would have given me best performance but I stopped smiling for a second when my bun came loose, oops. :/
• Although there are non-members on my team, we, as a team said a prayer before going on stage. This made me happy. The girl that suggested that we say a prayer did the best out of everyone and my coach even crowned her "best performer" for the night even though she had been struggling a lot earlier in practice. I'm so proud of her. I love when people aren't ashamed or embarrassed to suggest praying in a non-religious atmosphere. Goes to show that it pays off and prayer really does work :) You go girl.

• He helped me stay calm and collected at work when I was not only left alone after working only 2 weeks, but also training someone else on top of that.

I SAW HIS HAND IN MY LIFE TODAY

I Saw His Hand Today...

Wow, it's been a long time since i've blogged huh? Well.. now I actually have something to write about. For the passed month and a half or so I have been writing in my journal every night and having the heading say "I saw His hand today ..." in front of ever entry I then think about everything I did that day and realize how much the Lord really does for me. Then I write it down. Seriously, it gets easier and easier to find His hand in my life. I literally find Him in everything I do. It's humbling. It makes me think, honestly how do I deserve all of this? It's an awesome way to have a guaranteed feeling of love that He has for all of us. Can I just tell you what a difference this has made in my life? I end my day feeling just so..... happy ya know? There's not even a way to describe it. Every night I think to myself, how can my life get any more awesome? Does it really get any better than that? The "count your many blessings" song definitely takes on a whole new meaning for me now. Not only that, but more so and more importantly I feel like I have a closer relationship with Heavenly Father when I specifically think of what HE did for me today. It puts things in perspective and makes me feel like He has been with me to help me throughout my entire day. Anyway, I can't say enough of how big of an impact it has had on me, so if anyone ever has a bad day or even if they're having a good one, recognize it and write it down! You'll see a big difference in your attitude and suddenly your life becomes awesome instantaneously. I highly recommend this.

This is the intro to what I will be basing my blog on now. Since my journal space is all filled up, I will be trying to write on my blog every night entitling "I Saw His Hand Today.." so sorry if you get sick of it, but I guess no one forces you to read it, right? ;) I suppose it's more of something I wanna do for myself. Anyway... give it a try, I promise you wont regret it.
