.miracles.

(Once again I'm wishing I were more able to express my feelings with beautiful words....)

This week the purpose of the Sunday School lesson was to teach some of the reasons the Savior performed miracles. I was so excited to teach this lesson. One of the questions the manual suggested asking was:

-What is one of the Savior's miracles that you would like to have witnessed? Why?

When I asked the question, the kids in class said it was such a hard choice. There were so many miracles that Christ performed that they couldn't just choose one. I completely agree. As my thoughts have been drawn back to this question throughout this week, I think I have come up with my answer.

I would have loved to witness (from a distance) the Savior calming the storm. I think it is so incredible and powerful beyond words. I also feel that it applies so directly to me. And everyone else. Peace can come. Peace will come. Peace does come.


Mark 4:35-41

35 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.
36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
41 And they feared exceeding, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

Happy Valentines Day


I have combined valentines day with one of my favorite things and made these super cute heart shaped ladybug sugar cookies! We took some over to the Kofoed's for dinner and Garett ate them all. We watched fringe, and Pres helped me make valentines for my students. They turned out super cute.

p.s. remember how Presley made my blog page all cute and then I decided to not blog anymore? "Yeah I pretty much suck."
