I Believe in Miracles

I am currently enrolled in a class that teaches us how to teach students with disabilities. It is a fascinating class and I am learning to much. One of the very first assignments that we had to complete was a personal IEP. Basically, the assignment was to create goals for ourselves for our Physical, Intellectual, and Spiritual health. We made the goals and were required to write down how we were going to achieve our goals. For example, for my physical health I want to be more hyrdated and make it into a habit because there are so many positive benefits. I wrote down that I would accomplish this goal by bringing my water bottle with me to classes. For my intellectual goal I am reading "Walden" by Henry David Thoreau. For my spiritual goal I decided that I wanted to make a habit of reading The Book of Mormon everyday. So I decided on ten minutes a day in the morning before I began to get ready because that is the best time for me to dedicate to a daily ritual.

The last few days I have had an intense amount of homework to do and I was a little concerned about how I would get it all done. I won't bore you with the details but let's say that Monday morning I woke up at 5 a.m and I was working straight through until about midnight only to set my alarm for 5 a.m again. A good amount of my homework I needed other people for and thankfully enough they were available and could help me.

A similar experience happened this morning that has left me in awe all day. As I said before I had set my alarm for 5 a.m with hopes of getting my homework done before my 8 a.m class. While I vaguely remember turning off one of my 3 alarms and when I woke up it was 6:00. One hour later. Surprisingly, I didn't get an adreneline rush, but as I was sliding out of bed I decided to read my scriptures regardless of the time just praying for a miracle.

I believe in miracles.

There is no way that I should have finished that homework and still had the time that I did to rush around getting ready. I know I had divine assistance this morning, I have no doubt in my mind of that.
