I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears, behold I will heal thee.

Onyly 2 more days!

Well about 2 1/2 days...... I am getting excited to go to Idaho! I must say it's not for the weather, but as I think about all the things I do miss....I become "anxious" just thinking of all the things I have to fit in while I am there! But in a good way! I do wish Bryan could come with me...we will be apart for almost one month...... I am especially pumped to see how my miracle horse, Pixydust is doing! I cant' wait to work with her and take some great pictures. She will still be pretty furry from her winter coat~ but that will give me something to brush!

I am excited to get together with a few friends along with all my family. I am pretty sure I will have a date with a great friend of mine Jan Miles!! Hong Kong here we come!! You might find me at Rupe's several times while I am home and I am hoping to be able to see the acting school kids! I am going to try to bring some of the warm weather with me~ drag it behind our car!!

It's funny I am not really home sick....because I do like Phoenix quite a bit~ just need my own mode of transportation~ but I miss the "slower pace" of life there..... People are nicer in Idaho too. It's hard to find very many people with similiar interests or lifestyle.....but I will make friends soon enough~ It is supposed to be 89 degrees today.......I think I will try to get some swimming in before I head to the ARCTIC! See everyone at home Sunday evening/night!!

My Testimony

It's hard to put into words how I feel toward my Heavenly Father and the Savior. I have so many reasons to be thankful for what I have gone through & endured. Because of my trials in life I have gained a strong testimony of Faith. I have always had Faith in the Lord and in Prayer. As I faced the decision to get a double lung transplant I had to rely on faith to make the choice.....By listening to the spirit, I was guided to Pittsburgh where my life was saved. I believe prayers are answered. I have always tried to follow the philosophy of this: If I do what the Lord expects of me, he will give me what I want & need. That has always worked for me. I Believe in MIRACLES..........My life on this earth is a miracle- I prayed on my knees for years to be healed from my lung disease. I knew that through a priesthood blessing (if it was God's will) I could be healed. So many times I thought he would heal me instantly...my faith was tested as I continued to get sick and no cure was in my future. I turned to prayer....I talked to my Heavenly Father, I cried to him and he heard me and he healed me by guiding me to Pittsburgh and guiding the surgeons hands. I learned humility, and thankfulness. I realized that we need others to lean on and we are supposed to strengthen each others testimonies. I learned that the hardest things we'll do are usually the greatest blessings in our life. I was able to experience a lot of things during surgery and I know I had comforting angels in my ICU room. THe Lord knows each of us by name and he will never leave our side. We need to remember to stay close to him and have Faith that he is watching over us. I know this for a fact! I know that following the gospel will bring us true happiness- the world will tell us otherwise, but I know I am truely happy & living the gospel has brought me that. Amen
