Good Intentions...

I really had indented on making Christmas Cards or at least some kind of Christmas letter!! I spent oh, like an hour. . at least. . .creating one if photoshop, only to have the program freeze up and I lost all my work! I was so incredibly frustrated that I didn't start over. I may get it done though and sent out, it just won't get to anyone till after Christmas.

I am really excited for Christmas this year! I can't wait for Bryan to open his gift!!!! I think I have mentioned that before. lol. I try not to think of all the things I haven't gotten done yet and focus on that fact that Christmas in only 4 days away.

Merry (4 days before) Christmas! We are going to watch our top Christmas movies this week. . .saving "The Christmas Story" for Christmas day! We have to watch 'The Grinch', Elf (again), and 'National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation'. We have a beautiful Christmas DVD that we got from our Church that is perfect for Christmas Eve to help set the spirit of the real meaning of Christmas.

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
