Late last year I was struggling a great deal in my job as a manager. The stress was becoming too much, and my employees were trying to take advantage of me. I kept praying that God would find me a new job or position at work where I wouldn’t be in management anymore, but I…
Sometimes God uses others to help his earthly family. This day, we were heading home in the van with the family and we noticed the van was making funny sounds. We weren’t very far away from my sister’s home so we headed to there. They helpfully recommended a mechanic shop we could take our van…
I had the coolest experience today. I was thinking about this house we are planning to build. It’s really been a strain. We’ve gone back-and-forth, over and over about if we should do it or not. Today, which is Sunday, I thought, “Well, let me really go pray about this.” I went to my bedside…
Today, as I had breakfast with my husband, I overheard the table next to me talking about how interesting it was that this person would lose their job, only to get a better job that made their life circumstances better. They commented how lucky she was. Hindsight is 20/20. Oftentimes we have hard things happen…
A father and son who were reported overdue while hiking on a southern Utah trail on Sunday survived thanks to gear that had been discarded by another hiker who had become lost.

I had my little dog, Lilly, for 18 years. Her kidneys were failing, so it was only a matter of time before I lost her. Since I had lost Kris in June, I didn’t know how much more loss I could take in just a few month’s time. I was thinking about the dogs I…
When I was little, about 5 or 6, I watched a show on TV about a man doing tricks. He did this trick where he moved this pencil with his mind across the table. Boy was I impressed! I thought for sure I could do that simple trick if he could! I went into a…
For several years, I have longed to reconnect with my grandparents’ family. I felt that I could feel their longing for their family to care for each other. Beaver, Utah was their family home site. Even though my grandparents’ home was demolished, the town still holds lots of sweet summer memories that make it a…
I am really lucky to be able to walk to work. My shop is only a block and a half away from where I live which is a blessing all by itself. Most of the time I walk to work but on shipping days I drive my Ford to take packages to the post office….
