It's like it was orchestrated....

Spotless 2010 Young Woman's Camp
What a wonderful adventure we had.  It was all such a dream.  Everything went according to plan, maybe not ours, but most definately Heavenly Fathers.  We had a trial by fire, love unfeigned, 2 minutes of feeling more gratitude that imaginable.  Talks given by camp hosts went right along with talks give by our leaders.  During testimony meeting the girls kept saying, "I am Loved".  That night we gave our handout that we had prepared weeks before, stating, You are Loved and signed by all the young women leaders.  It truly seemed like the whole camp was orchestrated by a loving Heavenly Father.  If you do all you can, He will do the rest.  My cup runneth over.

Blessings from above!

A Young Woman sent me a text, "Can I get a blessing?" Of course was my immediate response! She had just become active again and her testimony and light just shines. She came over with her Mom and my husband and a neighbor administered to her. How amazing that one request can bring so very many blessings. I had been very sick that day and not very happy. When she arrived all my burdens were lifted and I felt light. My testimony was strengthened as I felt the Spirit testify to me of His love for this beautiful girl. Bonds were made with her Mom, friendships built and my love for her and her family grew. She may have been the one that asked for the blessing but I was also very blessed. I guess that is how Heavenly Father works, He stands ready to bless us, all we need to do is ask and receive with grateful hearts. I am so thankful, for the Priesthood, for family, for friends, for my calling in His church and for His Love and Tender Mercies, seen and unseen.
