Reminders

Last week I had two great reminders from Above that I am not alone in this journey. Both small and simple, but so meaningful to me. The first was simply that I received an email back from the admissions director of the school I want to go to. I had been debating on what to do about school, and after trying a few different options, felt like I should at least send an email to them. I asked a few questions and wondered if it would be possible to talk to some of the students about them. I also asked about additional sources of funding besides student loans, ie. scholarships. After about a week I received the reply. It was so kind and helpful. Such a change from the typical I am used to dealing with at schools. And such a testimony to me, that when we follow the promptings of the Holy Spirit, we will be blessed. So even though I don't know if the plan is for me to end up going to school there or not, I know that I will be blessed for following whatever path I am set on.
The second happened while I was at the temple doing proxy work in the Baptistry. A woman came up to me and thanked me for the work I had just done because one of the names was her mother-in-laws. She also thanked me for her husband who was there with her. It was so sweet. A wonderful reminder that what we do in the temple means so much to so many, in addition to blessing our lives. I was so grateful for the tender mercies of the Lord, and that I was able to recognize them as such. Its great to be reminded that my Heavenly Father loves me and is watching over me.
