Experiences...

Isn't the hand of the Lord just amazing? I love when I can look back on an experience and see the Lord's work right in front of me!

I had a cool experience tonight that exemplifies these thoughts...

I ad a really long day that ended in a headache, but I still had to drop some things off at my parents home -- so Jesse volunteered to bring it down for me so that I could go to bed early (such a great guy) but I said no, I needed to return it since I borrowed it. But in actuality I just felt like I needed to go over there.

So I walked down to my parents house and they had the missionaries over with an investigator (who I have known for many years) -- so I drop off the book and mentioned that I still had a ton of clothes from the clothing swap if they knew of anyone in need. So the investigator stated that she could use some clothes for her son -- so I walked home and got my van with all the clothes in-- and I thought for sure that their lesson would be over by then, but when I got back they were still teaching the plan of salvation, so I sat to listen in.

Towards the end of the lesson the investigator asked a question about her and her son being sealed together and how that isn't possible unless she gets married and her son can be sealed to her and her husband. So before anyone could answer I felt that I really needed to speak up about my experience of not being sealed to my parents until I was 21.

Sharing that story not only answered the investigators question but I feel like the spirit really spoke to her! It was also amazing for me to share my feelings about the whole things in front of my mom and dad ans grammy (Pauline). The spirit for that one question, to me, just overwhelmed the room -- so much so that the missionaries ended the lesson! It was awesome and I am so glad that I listened to the little feeling I had -- because I know that the Lord wanted me there at that time just to answer that one question.

It was AMAZING, what a spiritual high!!!
