I started six different blog posts tonight, but none of them felt authentic.  So here I am with lucky number seven.

Tonight, I met with a man from my church to discuss the upcoming musical presentation I am directing.  The meeting was good and full of the spirit.  Every time he spoke, the spirit bore witness to me of the importance of what I'm doing and witnessed that the direction I'm headed is correct.  As I was leaving he said casually, "I encourage you to keep a journal during this process.  You will see miracles happen in your own life."  The spirit whispered to me, "The Lord is mindful of you and miracles will come." 

My eyes filled up with tears as I got into my car.  I needed those words.  I needed them so very badly.  I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity and for the incredible spirit I felt tonight.  I was anxious, but left calm. I was sad, but left encouraged. I was worried, but left uplifted.  The only thing that can do that is the power of the Holy Ghost. 

As I drove home, I felt the urge to share what had just happened.  I wanted to tell someone how great I felt about the whole thing. I was instantly lonely. I reached out to five people with phone calls, but no one answered.  I prayed aloud in my car, wanting to share my gratitude with someone.  The spirit returned and I was no longer lonely.  I feel it now, even as I type. 

The Lord does make up the difference when we ask. 

In every condition, in sickness in health,
in poverty's vail or abounding in wealth,
At home or abroad on the land or the sea,
As thy days may demand so thy succor shall be.
(How Firm a Foundation, Hymns, 85)
