Tender Mercies

Life has never been perfect. For me- it sometimes feels like the world is just giving you one punch after another. It feels like you are being hit when you are already down. Okay...that sounds really depressing. Stick with me please.

This week, I have been amazed again by how well Heavenly Father knows me. He knows what I need when I need it, though I might not always agree.

I remember in 9th grade when A-Hour got divided into two classes. I prayed that I would stay in one class, but then I got divided into the other. I wanted to cry as I took the long march to the new classroom. But you want to know something, I needed to be in that class. I made some amazing friends in that class and was able to still be Service Club President that year (which meant ditching A-Hour once a week). Tender Mercy.

I also remember when I got the scholarship notification during my senior year of high school and my dream school had let me down. I didn't know if I would be able to afford to attend the school that I had been dreaming about going to since I was a little kid. However, I was able to go through my Freshman year without worrying about keeping up good grades. This allowed me to be part of Divine Comedy, make some good friends, and just find my place at BYU. Tender Mercy.

This week, I left the Freshman Mentoring. I didn't know what I was going to do and it was really hard to leave, but I am starting to understand that Heavenly Father knows me better than anyone else. He knows what I need and when I need it, though I might not always agree. I am trusting Him. I know someday I will be able to turn around and this experience too will be considered a tender mercy.

Come what may and love it!

Lily- Your Birth Story

I love reading birth stories. And I love being able to look back at my birth stories to remember the little details. Here are my past birth stories: Mitch's Birth Story Nate's Birth Story Every birth is so unique, but having a baby in the middle of a pandemic is completely different. With that- on to my 3rd birth story... Lily Girl- We were so excited to have you join our family. We were excited to have little pink socks and little dresses in our home. But let me tell you- your pregnancy was the absolute hardest for me compared to the boys. Let me start at the beginning... We found out we were pregnant in January. We were so excited. The week that I found out that I was pregnant, I started experiencing severe cramps on one side. I was so worried for a ectopic pregnancy or another miscarriage. I called the doctor and was asked to come in for some blood tests. I went in and found out my numbers were on the lower normal end. They sent me in for a ultrasound to rule out an ectopic ...

Quick Housing Update

So I got an email yesterday saying that I will get to choose my housing on April 1st. Really, that is pretty good. Housing opens for others on March 28th...and I have heard as far away as April 13th. So I am counting my blessings and hoping that everything that I want to work out will work out. :) Come what may and love it!

Freshman Mentoring?

You want me to be honest? I really have no idea what Freshman Mentoring is or what it is good for. But it is required, so I have to do it. I had to sign up for a 'bundle'. The first bundle I signed up for was just a general writing class. I am actually very excited for it! I hope that it won't be too hard, but I also hope that I learn a lot. Oh, and did I mention that it is at 8 am! Sigh...I think this will actually be better in the long run. Hopefully... The second bundle I signed up for was suggested for elementary education majors. It combines biology and human development. Basically, all that means is a lot of people will be in both classes with me. I am excited for this, so that I will be get to know people with the same major. Also, I think these will be some of my favorite classes. I am actually excited that my college schedule is forming. It makes me so excited to see my future falling into place. CRAZY!
