Expect miracles!

 In the conference talk from Nelson our dear prophet The Power of Spiritual Momentum from April 2022 he says "Seek and expect miracles. Moroni assured us that “God has not ceased to be a God of miracles.” Every book of scripture demonstrates how willing the Lord is to intervene in the lives of those who believe in Him. He parted the Red Sea for Moses, helped Nephi retrieve the brass plates, and restored His Church through the Prophet Joseph Smith. Each of these miracles took time and may not have been exactly what those individuals originally requested from the Lord. In the same way, the Lord will bless you with miracles if you believe in Him, “doubting nothing.” Do the spiritual work to seek miracles. Prayerfully ask God to help you exercise that kind of faith. I promise that you can experience for yourself that Jesus Christ “giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.” Few things will accelerate your spiritual momentum more than realizing the Lord is helping you to move a mountain in your life." 

I have found that in my own life I have had so many miracles happen. Since the time I was 12 I struggled with my health both physically and emotionally. I had been promised many times in priesthood blessings that my health would improve and I would lead a successful and happy life. For years I honestly felt like God was a god of lies until last year. In the most unexpected ways my health finally did improve after years of struggles with my health I finally had answers. I had two surgeries in just six months and with both it was miserable after the surgery until I healed. My nose surgery was both disgusting and it hurt more than I ever thought possible. I honestly didn't realize a nose could hurt so much and yet even with rsv I was able to breathe better than I had been able to with the common cold. My second surgery i had last year I had 15 tumors removed and more than half had been cancerous. I had been blessed with the fact that the cancer was found so early out. 

Although I wasn't thrilled about the fact that I had both surgeries a year later I'm grateful to a loving father in heaven who knew that I needed both surgeries in order to become healthy. Now I am in school and keep on pushing myself, but every day I feel the help of God in both my studies and in my hearing abilities. I hear every word my professors and classmates say for those who don't realize what a miracle it is to hear every word I am hard of hearing. As such I should be missing words, yet I'm not. The miracles happened in the least expected way, but I'm healthy, happier, and on my path to having a successful life. 

God is a God of miracles and I know as we pray, work for, and expect miracles to happen in our lives they will. Things we never imagined possible will be with the help of God!
