February 18, 2026- Wednesday (temple day and miracles)

 Today was the other full service day that I was concerned about on Sunday but of course it went really well. I taught seminary that went better than last week. It wasn't perfect but it went well. Right after we were to leave with the Aston's to the temple but there was some miscommunication so it took a minute longer to get on our way and I needed to stop to pick up Frances. (I was excited to take her but sometimes the extra coordinating and the extra worry sometimes gets to me even though it shouldn't. It is just one of those growth, growing pains.) We then had to stop by the Aston's to pick up Abby,  needless to say we were leaving much later then we normally would. At the church at 7:30 when I was waiting for Calvin's class to get out it said the commute was about 2 hours so we were barely going to make it leaving straight. And although I had a little wiggle room I didn't have very much as I needed to be back for lessons. (I guess these are where these worries come.) I turned to God for a miracle and He pulled through...when I first put it in we were going to get to the temple almost at 10 am but as we drove the time slowly went down and eventually getting exactly to 9:30. It was a miracle and they were ready and waiting for us when we arrived.

I also remembered everything I needed for my seminary lesson and had dinner for the Astons. Originally I was going to make it last night and give it to them in the morning, but last night that seemed like just too much and I realized I had one I had made and frozen with some rolls in the freezer and just took that over. Everything went great with Frances, she had a great experience and we didn't need to do any extra stops. 

We got home in enough time for me to eat a quick lunch and then be ready for the Kara's lessons, which went well. I had a little bit of time to go outside and work in the yard. I also had Salem's lesson and taught Benson his lesson and got dinner made. It was  a good day. At night everyone went to activates except Maebryn and I so the picture at the end is us snuggling together and reading stories. This year there have been so many miracles like this. Just before school started I wondered if I was doing to much..with starting teacher, chior, orchestra, piano and violin lessons and teaching seminary as well as helping with the missionary work and most important teaching and loving my children. I had a strong confirmation from God telling me I would have all the time I needed. I was in awe of this and wondered if it could be possible but I have seen God make time for all I need time after time after time. This was one of these little miracles.  Things cancel, people change the time they need me to help, things are good at school in so many ways and it has been such a huge blessing, and seminary lessons are posted right when I need them if I haven't had time to prepare or somethings is canceled. I have been in awe. God truly is a God of miracles.
