Yesterday I decided to go donate plasma before I went to work the WBB vs Gonzaga. I had to wear my work clothes because I would be walking all the way to the Marriott Center from plasma. I got dressed and walked to plasma. I was wearing shoes that were newer and I could feel the pain begin to tingle on me heels from the shoes, but it was fine. I made it there, donated, collected my money, and began my trek to the Marriott Center.
That's when the real pain began.
Apparently, blisters had formed on my heels while I was donating and when I started to walk back, I tore the skin, so the tender, red skin was being rubbed against the back of my cute converse.
It was utterly painful.
I called my dad and needed him to distract me while I tried to walk/limp/hop/skip/run/crawl to my destination. He was trying to make me laugh, but honestly, I HURT!
And I'm not just being a baby.
I hung up the phone with my dad, said a prayer that I would be able to make it there without any severe difficulty, then a sweet miracle happened.
I was crossing the street when a car honked at me. I turned to see a guy that I work with, but don't know very well through the window. He rolled down the window and asked if I was headed to the Marriott Center. I said yes, and he said to hop in!
He told me that he saw my work shirt and knew that I was headed to the game. I didn't tell him that I literally couldn't walk anymore, but I did convey my sincere gratitude for the ride. I grabbed some bandaids and wrapped up my sores.
Alone, I said a prayer of gratitude that my Heavenly Father would be so aware of me, that He would send someone to help me get to work because even He knew I couldn't walk.
It is the little things in my life that remind me of the love that my Heavenly Father has for me. I don't have big spontaneous miracles happen in my life. Instead, I feel like I get a better deal. He gives me experiences that lead me right back to Him. Whether it be a car that picks me up to go to the temple or work, or seeing someone who gives me a hug when I needed love, or even to see that I can make it this year financially. They all lead me back to him. I have been blessed to witness little miracles in my life.
When I was in Nauvoo, we would call them Nauvoo miracles. The little things that helped our testimony and our love for one another.
He knows all of us.
He loves all of us.
He is aware of all our needs and will bless us with things that we need.
I love Him.
