I hope this feeling won't go away....



I posted this on facebook on Wednesday, March 20th:

I am in awe of all the events of this week. I can have milk again, I have accepted a position at Peak Seasons, Inc. as an Accounting Manager, and I was able to donate blood today! To end the day I was able to have dinner with Marlene Crookston Willis and attend a mission call opening (Congrats Jonathan!) It always amazes me how involved the Lord is in our lives down to every last detail. My cup truly runneth over. 

March 18, 2013. I try milk again for the first time since last April and I was ok! I'm very happy and excited to bring milk back into my diet. However I have been sensitive to some milk products and need to take Lactaid pills. But after this past year I'm not complaining!

March 22, 2013. Family Game night at the church.

Crazy wheelchair rides around the gym were definitely the highlight.

March 20, 2013. Donated blood for the first time despite my fear of needles

Thanks for your support Whitney! (I will forgive you for forcing me into it)

March 21, 2013. Toured the State Capitol and Pioneer museum with old mission companions.

 The Lord has been so good to me. 

Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)

Chris Tomlin- emphasis added by yours truly

 

Amazing grace

How sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost, but now I'm found

Was blind, but now I see

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear

And grace my fears relieved

How precious did that grace appear

The hour I first believed

My chains are gone

I've been set free

My God, my Savior has ransomed me

And like a flood His mercy rains

Unending love, Amazing Grace

 

The Lord has promised good to me

His word my hope secures

He will my shield and portion be

As long as life endures

 

(2x)

My chains are gone

I've been set free

My God, my Savior has ransomed me

And like a flood His mercy rains

Unending love, Amazing grace

 

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow

The sun forbear to shine

But God, Who called me here below

Will be forever mine

Will be forever mine

You are forever mine

 

 

God lives. His tender mercies are real. I could not have made it through the past year without him.

My chains are gone and I've been set free!
