Right Time, Right Place



The Lord is always aware of where we are and what we need.

Driving home from playing ultimate frisbee

we hit traffic and slowly rolled passed an accident.

The accident had happened not too long before.

Passing the man who was directing traffic I hit the gas pedal and went on our way home.

Then a voice comes from the backseat saying that we know those people that were in that accident!

I turned into the next parking lot and flipped around.

We got out and walked over to the car.

They were fine physically but definitely shaken up.

Even though we were in t-shirt and gym shorts we asked if they needed a Priesthood blessing

and gladly gave them one.

Being blessed to be the one voicing the blessing,

I couldn't help but feel a strong feeling that God was very much aware of this person.

Closing the blessing, and making sure there was help coming,

we jumped back into our car and left just as the police arrived.

It was not by chance that we were there at that time.

God works miracles through us.



He has blessed us with the means to work miracles in other's lives.

Your Heavenly Father is aware of you.

He knows your needs, wants, desires, deepest sorrows, and your most joyful moments.

Your Father in Heaven knows you perfectly.

Just like he put us,

four imperfect young adults,

in the path to be his instrument and hands in blessing the lives of those in need,

He will always send someone at the right time, and at the right place.

Never doubt that His hand is in your life,

because through His Son, nothing is impossible to Him in this world.

Seek him out.



Feel His loving embrace pour into the seemingly empty voids of a sorrowful soul,

and amplify the powerful emotions felt in the Joyous soul. 


In the name of our Savior and Elder Brother, Jesus the Christ, Amen.

Vestibulitis



I couldn't help but cry in frustration as we drove away from yet another doctor's appointment with questions unanswered.

For nearly two months I had been nauseous and dizzy enough to keep me out of school and laying down with little to no energy.

I had become discouraged.

Missing school and being house ridden was taking it's toll.

Hopping from doctor to doctor, medication to medication, the problem continued and the questions remained unanswered.

Then the miracles began.

My dad happened to have a connection to a doctor that was willing to see me on such short notice.

The doctor worked in a pretty prestigious hospital and it was a miracle she had the time to see me.

We baked them a plate of cookies as a small token of our gratitude.

Within 10 minutes she diagnosed my problem.

Vestibulitis.

The treatment was to attend physical therapy sessions.

A physical therapist who happened to just get through schooling for treating vestibulitis, happened to live in my home town.

The exercises were simply looking at the ceiling, then at the floor, ceiling, floor.

At first my attitude was a bit skeptical, but I did what I was told.

I remember after my first session I went home and passed out from exhaustion.

Those simple movements were the beginning of my journey back to health.

Soon I was able to read the math board again without nausea occurring.

I was able to do the work that was missed and catch up well enough to pass that semester.

All throughout I was blessed with inspired teachers that were willing to work with me at home

and inspired people to lift my spirits.

I think back to that car ride leaving the doctors office and that feeling of despair.

When we go through trials that seem never ending it's hard to see the light that is illuminating our way.

However, after the trial, we often look back with joy and see we were led every step of the way.

Our Heavenly Father's hand is in every detail.


Every encouraging letter.












Every smile.
















Every ray of sunlight.











He will not forget you,

If you will not forget him.

There is never an excuse to forget our Father in Heaven.

There is never any trial or mistake that we can make that causes us to not be worthy to get down on our knees and seek his comfort.



Seek for his love!

He is the perfect Father.

In the name of His son, who overcame all trials and sorrows, even Jesus Christ, Amen.
