I don't usually write about spiritual matters here on our family blog, but I'm going to today.
In the past several months I've been feeling conflicted about a decision regarding Zoey's schooling. I've talked to many friends and family members, who all have given good advice, but I still felt anxious about what to do. This morning I had a conference with Zoey's preschool teacher and all morning I felt unsettled and was actually dreading the meeting.
While driving to the school, I prayed. I prayed that the conference would go well, that I would feel the teacher's interest in Zoey, and that I could make a decision.
The conference did go well, I was able to feel the teacher's interest in Zoey, and I did make a decision. 30 minutes later, as I left the preschool, I was overcome with a feeling of gratitude and peace that I can't really describe, except to say that I know Heavenly Father was telling me, through the Spirit, that He had heard and answered my prayer. I felt gratitude for good teachers and the opportunity Zoey has to go to school. I felt gratitude for clarity in what I had decided. I felt gratitude for all the good in my life. I felt gratitude for a Heavenly Father who is mindful of me and my concerns, as trivial as they may seem.
It felt wonderful.

You are awesome! Thank you for sharing your testimony.
Nicely said. I love it when He calms us in this way, showing us that we "got it" and that He's there watching over us and interceding on our behalf when needed. I have a hard time writing about these things on my blog too, but they are so important for us moms!
Great insights. Thanks for sharing.
I love these moments. Whenever I am feeling neglected I remember these moments and cannot doubt God's presence. Love this. You know now that we are so far from everyone I wish that I had come to PA more and visited you guys. We miss you. One day I wish we could all live closer. I miss family.
