Answered prayers

The other day I was talking with a friend, whom I hadn't talked with for a while and he reminded me of an experience I had last year.  I have never written it down and it is definitely one that needs to be remembered.  So here it is!

It was the beginning of the Fall semester 2011.   I just had an amazing summer and was struggling to keep myself motivated in school but I took on 18 credits, worked 10 hours a week and I was feeling SWAMPED!  To top it all off a cute boy was asking me out on dates and I really liked him!  I wanted to spend time with him but, I didn't know where the time was going to come from.  I definitely didn't want that time to take away from my studies, and I was determined to still get good grades and stay up to date with my homework.  But I also really wanted to give this guy a shot.  Sitting in Institute one day (completely thinking about my own things, I couldn't tell you what the lesson was) I became overwhelmed thinking of all the homework I had to get done, work I needed to get to that day, and battling really wanting to make time for this new relationship.  I was feeling very anxious, and I was so nervous that dating this kid would RUIN my GPA.  Immediately the spirit whispered to me, "Cami what is important to you, is important to me." 

Wow!  What a loving Heavenly Father.  Through God nothing is impossible!  That night as I said my prayers I asked for God's help in maintaining my grades that semester. I went through that semester juggling a boyfriend, 18 Credits, and a Job.  It was the hardest and best semester of my life!  So many times I saw the Lord's hand bless my life and guide me.  I am so happy to say that I got a 4.0 that semester!  I know that prayers are answered.  I know that God cares about us personally,  and he is aware of our personal dilemma's.

He lives!
