April Service Brings May Snow...

I promise I have still been serving! Life has just gotten totally crazy and I have been doing little services here and there. I folded laundry, Cleaned a Kitchen, Helped a friend pack, had a friend over for dinner while her husband is out of town,  gave a friend a pedicure after she had a baby, provided dinner for the same friend, got my friend out of the house, Made phone calls, visited, and even texted to check up on those friends in need. I bet you do more service in a day than you realize! Sometimes it's just getting a phone call that makes all the difference in someone's day!
  I also had a special experience last week. It was a particularly crazy week and Kyle found out he had to go to a hearing on the same day that he usually takes the girls to Activity Days and then takes Audrey to dance. I teach a class all during this same time. I was feeling stressed because I didn't know how I was going to teach and take the kids every where they needed to go. Because of Audrey's dance schedule, she only goes to Activity Days for 15 minutes. I know it sounds weird, but we decided to make the effort to get her there even for 15 minutes and we believe that it teaches her that even with other things going on, we still have to put the Lord First and make the effort. My amazing neighbor Angela, agreed to take the kids to Activity Days. I just needed to get Audrey from the church to dance. I was standing there trying to figure out what to do, when my phone rang. It was my Visiting Teaching Partner, Charity. " Hey! I just thought I should call you to see if I can do anything for you." - "YES!"
She instantly agreed to pick up Audrey from the church and take her to dance for me! It was a true answer to my prayers! As soon as I got off the phone, I had my kids kneel down and we thanked Heavenly Father for Charity and for her willingness to live worthy of listening to the Spirit and her willingness to help us!
   I have a testimony that Heavenly Father knows each of us! He loves all of us and is waiting for us to turn to Him for help in our times of need. I know that Heavenly Father knew how stressed I was over something as simple as getting Audrey to dance and He cared about it! He cares about all of the little things that are important to us! I promise that if you will pray, He will answer. It might not be right away, but He WILL answer!

* One of my favorite scriptures is in 2 Nephi 19:12,17, and 21 - at the end of all of these verses it says:
"For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still"

It is never too late to return back to our Heavenly Father and our Savior, Jesus Christ.
I say these things, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Prayers are Answered!
