So Many Blessings...

Can you say "WOW"? My life has been so unbelievably blessed these passed few months. I have been skiing in Austria, had a massage in front of the Alps, seen two incredibly Broadway shows, spent Thanksgiving in New York City, been invited to Phoenix with our sales group, won Chairman's Club to Las Vegas, got a raise and a promotion, got a new car, and most importantly, been baptized. When I look back over my life since November I can't help but feel a little overwhelmed. I have SO much in my life...I am so thankful...and I know so much more is in store for me.

Recently, my life has taken a turn for the even-better. I was baptized on January 20th, and I couldn't be happier. The missionaries that taught me Sister Moore (http://mooreinmissouri.blogpsot.com) and Sister Porter are the most incredible people I have ever met. They teach me about the gospel, life, and myself every single day. I have grown so much as a person and I owe so much of that to them. They are some of the kindest, most genuine, selfless people I have ever had the opportunity to meet. I am so happy that they came into my life and I know we will be lifelong friends.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has brought so much joy and positivity into my life. I am beginning to study my scriptures each and every day and in doing that I feel closer to the Lord and I feel closer to myself...if that even makes sense. I've also began praying every night. Not the type of praying I used to do; half-hearted, while listening to the noise around me, and thinking about my day. No. I have been focusing all of my energy on prayer and it has become sort of a meditation for me and I love it. Christ has blessed me so much with these simple but heart-felt prayers. The other day at work I had to make a very difficult call to a customer-- this customer was irate and I was not looking forward to calling them. Before I made the call I said a quiet prayer to the Lord. To my surprise the client was not irate anymore and in fact they were very agreeable. It was such a pleasant call and I was so very thankful that I said that prayer.

Prayer is so powerful. Focus, pour your heart out to the Lord, believe in Him, and trust that He will always respond. It works. :-)
