I would like to share an experience that happened today. Our bishop asked our ward to fast today for those in our ward boundries that are hurting financially, emotionally, or spirtually. Unfortunatly Kati and I forgot all about it. Anyways, our home teacher came today and shared a message that was directed for us. He and his wife had thought a lot about what the bishop asked us to do and had done it and he shared a passage in 3 Nephi 27 about the Apostles, after they had left the presence of Christ, how they united themselves in fasting and prayer. As they did this Christ appeared to them and ministered unto them. The way our home teacher explained this made complete sense to us. As we have gone through the trials of the last couple weeks, we have seen the hand of God in our lives EVERY day. I have never been on the receiving end of so many prayers and fasting. It is amazing the power that comes from a united prayer and fast among a group of people. Thank you to all our family members and friends that have pleaded with the Lord in our behalf. We appreciate and are forever grateful for your faith and support.

Seffy Birdsmess, I love you and I love to read what you have written. This is a fabulous idea -- to look for the hand of God in our lives everyday. It is most definitely there, we know that. We see it over and over, and have especially seen it during this latest installment of life and craziness. Thanks for deciding to journal it... I know it will be a blessing to both of us!
