today is a good day.

today has been a wonderful day. i really really needed this.

i woke up fairly easy today. i wasn't dying to stay in bed. i read my scriptures. then i read my other stuff for Book of Mormon class. it didn't take long at all (don't get me wrong i love the scriptures but sometimes it takes forever to read my student manual). anyways, then i made chocolate chip muffins and bacon. i talked with my roommate about the gospel. then i did my calculus assignment that is due tomorrow. yes you got that right. i am ahead! i listened to rascal flatts! i love them.

i went to school. i was running late so my other roommate gave me a ride. in music 101 we watched a really cool video about beethoven. now this may sound nerdy but honestly, it was inspiring. it was awesome. then i went to physics. i wasn't really looking forward to the class because it is annoying. i usually go in there and leave feeling like a complete idiot. it is frustrating to never understand. today was different. my group somehow got to telling jokes. we told tons of totally clean, funny jokes. we laughed our heads off. i laughed till i cried. in physics. i know. man, it was SO awesome. i love that. then i went to calculus and everyone in my group felt the same about the test we just took (it stunk btw). we got similar answers too so i started feeling WAY more confident about it. then in Book of Mormon i just got to relax a little bit.

i came home. i ate some of those chocolate chip muffins. i ate some pringles. i got to talk to my mom. i got an amazing hilarious email from a family friend back home. my family got the letters i sent them. i practiced piano. i have my schedule for next semester practically done. i listened to josh groban. i remembered to water my plant. i felt the spirit.

gosh. i just love days like this. i am going to get ahead on hw, work out, make a good dinner, and do some crafts. it is just going to be an absolutely amazing night.

i also had my testimony strengthened this weekend. i had some hurtful moments in my house and not kidding, IMMEDIATELY after i started feeling down my mom text me just saying i love you. then RIGHT after that andrea sharp text me and just talked for a bit. then i went to take a shower at my friends apartment because our water heater was out and she invited me to come hang out with her. i went and got ready and my grandparents called. they honestly and genuinely just wanted to talk. they have been in france for the past 7 weeks. they called to apologize that they hadn't checked on me and wanted to know all about what i was doing and how i was. they invited me down for the weekend and offered to bring up a care package or take me shopping. All of this just happened. These people didn't know that i needed that support but my Heavenly Father did. He loves me.

"But behold, I, Nephi, will show unto you that the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those whom he hath chosen, because of their faith, to make them mighty even unto the power of deliverance." 1st Nephi 1:20

Heavenly Father never ceases to amaze me and remind me of his deep and eternal love for me.
