I do like them... Im still learning how to style them and such, but they are kinda fun! Haha Now... Onto the rest of this wonderful post!


NOW... THE AWKWARD MOMENT OF THE WEEK....
So Last night I was at ward Choir. We were singing this lovely song when we came to a high A, that none of the sapranos could hit. Well in choir I sing alto, so of coarse I was NOT going to say " Oh Yes. Hi... I know Im an alto and I sing the lowest women part... but I think I can hit the highest note in the song!" haha No. That would be crazy! AND YET Koala made a comment and I am now singing the high note.... So I am singing alto the whole time until we get to that note. Yep.... People think Im CRAZY!(:

Moving right along.....
Koala ( My sister) and I drive to school every day. We take two classes at the public school, Seminary and Choir. To get to the school you have to turn left at this one street. But we ALWAYS get a yellow arrow. The street is really busy too so it can take a while before you turn! SO the other day Koala and I were driving up to this turn and right as we got up to the light..... IT TURNED GREEN. We were both freaking out! Then I noted that that was a tender mercy. Silly sounding right? But tender mercies are the little things in each day that make me smile and know that I am loved and watched over!

In First Nephi Chapter One verse Eight it says:


And after I had traveled for the space of many hours in darkness, I began to pray unto the Lord that he would have^amercy on me, according to the multitude of his tender mercies.

Awesome, right? Then in April 2005 Elder Bednar says this:

I believe I have come to better understand that the Lord’s tender mercies are the very personal and individualized blessings, strength, protection, assurances, guidance, loving-kindnesses, consolation, support, and spiritual gifts which we receive from and because of and through the Lord Jesus Christ. 
 The simpleness, the sweetness, and the constancy of the tender mercies of the Lord will do much to fortify and protect us in the troubled times in which we do now and will yet live.

I just love that! And I know that looking for these tender mercies in our lives will make us more happy! Sometimes we can be pretty ungrateful or we can be having a really bad day. But when that happens, count your tender mercies. You have many everyday that you realize. Really anything that makes you happy. And you can find good in everyday as long as you look for it! I challenge you to look for the tender mercies in your life as you go along your day.
