yet another miracle!

I experienced a miracle this weekend. For the last week I've prayed that the speakers at General Conference would be inspired and that I would gain the counsel I needed. Friday I went to the temple for the same purpose (and also to gain inspiration concerning the direction of my life). While at the temple, I thought, "I am so tired. I just want to sleep. How much longer is this?" And then later I felt frustrated because I wasn't receiving the direction I wanted. As I was walking out of the temple, I thought, "How ungrateful I am! I longed for years to be able to receive the blessings of the temple, and now I am frustrated and sleepy and grumpy and don't want to be here? What is wrong with me?!" I was amazed at how ungrateful I was, and definitely felt rebuked for my ingratitude. Sunday during General Conference, the Prophet's message was on being grateful. All of my prayers were answered. (Well, not the one about where to move. But that will come.*) This was not all just coincidence. I know that the Lord prepared this for me. Amazing! I am so grateful!

*The more I think about it, I want the Lord to provide the way before me. I want to know not only where to move, but where to work and how to get a job there (and of course, it must be a really good job). And it all has to fit my requirements - close to home, good place to live, great roommates, strong LDS single population, great coworkers, easy kids, administration that likes me, ability to put down roots, etc. And I want all the answers now so I can start making plans. But I haven't done much work in it, and the time isn't right yet to make plans. As I was told two years ago, I don't need to know that information right now, so the Lord probably isn't going to tell me - especially since I haven't done a lot of work on it yet. So I wouldn't be surprised if it'll be a while before that prayer is answered.
