Thursday January 7th

My twins came home so happy from school. They have accomplished what they needed to in some of their classes. Tomorrow they have to have everything done in the other half of their classes. Semester time is always a time to watch what you say, because tears my come forth at any minute. I am going to be glad when tomorrow is over. They have three different art projects due tomorrow and once again they are not done. So they may be up half the night completing them. But I am so grateful for the talent in art that they have. They have both done amazing this year in learning new skills. They cook great, sew great and do art great. What better skills than this do they need to become a wonderful mother. They are on their way to learning what they need to that is for sure. I count their accomplishments as a great miracle. I have watching them both do some amazing things this year.

My son in law stopped by tonight. He lives 4 hours away so we were happy to see him. He came up here for a few meetings. We feed him, then he announced some amazing news about his future. I am so happy for him. I know it isn't going to be easy for him or my daughter, but at the same time I am plenty proud of their decision. I will tell you more about their decision later. Let's just say it is certainly a miracle.

January 6th Wednesday

It was so fun today to have my oldest son bring up my little granddaughter. She is just learning how to climb the stairs. My husband was sitting on the first landing, so she crawled all the way to him. The next thing you knew, she say me at the top of the stairs. She got out of her grandfathers arms and crawled to me. It was so cute to see her, she is growing up so fast. She is such a cute little grand daughter because she has blond hair and it sticks up everywhere. She looks like a little chick that you just want to hold because it is so cute.

My daughter has been so stressed about getting into Math 1050. She tried to test out of it but made it into Math 1010. I think that is great, but the High School offered that last semester and not this semester, so she was pretty concerned. But another miracle happened and her teacher allowed her in. She just needs to retake the test on Monday. That is a wonderful thing for her.

January 5th Tuesday

I started the day out with attending the temple again. We need the help of the Lord today. Another meeting is taking place between KM and KA so once again we are praying hard. I felt the spirit so strong today and felt like I was where I needed to be. The person I was doing the work for was definitely with me and I can't deny that. I felt just an over whelming feeling today to not worry about the future. The Lord is definitely taking care of us and orchestrates everything in our lives. I can't hardly believe the miracles so far. We can truly feel the guiding hand of the Lord. I am just so completely humbled today.

One of my girls has some things to work out in school. I know everything will work out for her. My girls are amazing and the Lord will certainly take care of them. My daughter in Pittsburgh is having some struggles right now too. She is doing some amazing service today and the Lord will certainly bless her because of her dedication. Others in my family who are struggling with things will as well get the help they need. I know they will all truly be blessed. I am grateful for miracles.

January 4th

We got up and went to the temple this morning. KM has a meeting today and we are praying for him and the success of that meeting. It amazes me how much we are blessed with good people in our lives, and one of those blessings is the M family. They are wonderful people and are very kind to us as the C family.

It has been one of those days when I wanted to accomplish so much, but I haven't accomplished all I wanted too. But I started the day out right so it was rewarding. We had family night tonight. We studied Elder Holland's talk in the Ensign for January 2010. If you haven't read it do so it is amazing. It talks about forgetting the past and moving on. He talks about Lot's wife and looking back to the city of Sodom and Gomorrah, then turning to stone. I found it interesting because he likens us to Lot's wife when we look to the past, because in reality that is what Lot's wife was doing. Wishing that she were back in that city, rather than knowing that the Lord would take care of her. The talk is called, "The Best Is Yet To Be." You can look it up. It is a talk we all need to hear and reflect on often. Thank-you for my miracles. I know "The Best Is Yet To Be".

January 3rd 2009 Sunday

It was a beautiful day today. Snow on the ground and warm outside. But it was not only beautiful outside, but going to church was beautiful. We participated in some great meetings. It was fast and testimony meeting which is always wonderful. I bore my testimony, but I feel sorry for the bishopric, they had to watch me shake uncontrollably. And because of it I cut my testimony short. But the Lord knows what is in my heart, he is the only one that really matters. But I am grateful for the opportunity to bare my testimony.

We went to dinner at my daughters, it was incredible as usual. She made chicken enchiladas, rice, black beans, salad, and corn. Then she topped it off with German chocolate cake and ice cream. Plus we enjoyed a family game. We had a fantastic time. It was a Sunday of enjoyable company and a day of spiritual upliftment. A day of miracles in my book.

January 2nd

I hoped to attend the temple today. We actually got ready and left. By the time we reached the temple, we realized it was packed. Tons of people were there. The parking lot and the roadways were packed. Also the church next doors parking lot was packed. We decided to go early Monday morning. So we traveled the distance home. Which took us about 20 minutes. I wished we could have attended. I felt like I needed it today. But I realized how much we needed to get done, so I feel that it was the best decision. Frank needed to check out a washer at my daughter and her husbands house. Then we needed to check out some electrical work that needed to be done at my oldest daughters home. We accomplished all that. We will work on the electrical the first part of next week. The washer will need to be replaced. But all is done. I am pretty excited because my oldest daughter invited us to Sunday dinner. That to me was wonderful. I feel like with the holidays I've cooked and continued to cook, so it is nice to have a break. I get to have tomorrow off because it is also fast Sunday. Another great miracle, to have a day without having to go into the kitchen.

We are hearing more good news on the business and that is exciting as well.

January 1st Friday

We have had a good day today. My family all got together this evening and we had French Dipped Sandwiches. They were wonderful. We all enjoyed one anothers company. I am excited for a new year. This year will be our year and things will work out for the C family. We are so excited to start a new year and make some new goals. I am starting to make a few new goals myself and as a family we hope to improve. One thing that I hope we can keep up on this year is our scripture study and prayer. It always helps when pray is involved. I am just grateful to start a new year and to be a part of 2010. Miracles are happening all around us. I know the Lord is instrumental in all our lives. I can see it on a daily bases.
