Another Sign

I mentioned a post or 2 ago that during my emotionally, difficult week a few weeks ago it was made known to me a few different ways that Heavenly Father is aware of me and LOVES me...

quite personally.

Well, I forgot to mention another "sign" I received that unexpectedly came.

Here's some background.

Throughout my life I have collected many special, good friends. They all are huge examples and fun people. I feel so blessed to have wonderful friends. One Queen of beauty I count as a friend, who probably shared a backyard with me in the pre-earth life... is my friend, Jana. We met when we were both Beehives. We actually met in Alberta Canada where our Dad's were speaking for the Church's Know Your Religion. Our families became bonded for the eternities. Jana is one of those kindred friends where I want to be like her. She's talented and hilarious and the greatest mom to 6 kids and has the kind of garden that I envy each summer. She does it all! We used to have meaningful sleepovers planning our future wedding receptions and talking about grinding wheat together. But, we also knew how to have more fun than our parents knew what to do with... like the time we were found inside a dryer of a laundry mat or wearing pillow cases tied like bandannas in the grocery store.

We grew up and both married handsome men named, Jeff.

I think of her often and wonder how she would handle certain situations as a mother and then I do accordingly. I love her so much!

So I was feeling overwhelmed and sad.

One night when Jeff was out of town, I was crazy busy helping the kids make (making them myself) Valentines for their class. I went in to get some card stock from my paper collection and out fell a random piece of paper which read...

Over 7 years ago when we moved from Lake Forest, CA Jana and Jeff stayed at our house before the movers came and after we had already left. They had left fun messages in all of our stuff that the packers packed into our boxes for us to find when we unpacked in our new home. After such a long time here was the crowning jewel of all the messages. A note that Heavenly Father knew I would need on such a day as this... 7 years later.

A message that would lift me up. It wasn't from just anyone but from a friend who's opinion and thoughts truly matter to me.

I cried and said a prayer of Thanks.

Once again Jana's words had lifted me up to a higher plane that I needed so much on that particular day.

And once again I knew that Heavenly Father was aware of me.
