Little Miracles

So today I was able to attend a devotional given by Sister Elaine S. Dalton.  She was great!!  It was a lot like a huge pep talk to the youth.  I mean God trusts us.  He trusted the 2,000 stripling warriors to protect their families.  He trusted a 14 year old boy, Joseph Smith, to translate the Book of Mormon and be the first latter-day prophet.  He lowered the missionary age because he knows the rising generation can handle it.  He trusts His younger generations sooo much, so I should trust in his judgment and have more confidence in myself.
Miracle #1
So I usually never go to the Marriott to watch the devotionals, but I was like hey, it's THE general young women's president so I trudged through the freezing cold air and the stream of BYU students and watched the devotional.  I found out later that they didn't broadcast it to any of the other buildings on campus.  If I hadn't seized the opportunity to see one of God's great servants, I would've totally missed out.
Miracle #2
So after the devotional, I hurried back to my class.  As I was down the hall with maybe 3 minutes before class started, I remembered I still had to print off a paper.  Now my class is in the back hall of the basement of the JFSB.  I was like crap.  I don't know where a printer is!  Then I looked up and there is a copy room.  Who knew they had a fancy printer/copy/scanner room in the JFSB basement?  I was able to print off my paper and get to class only 1 minute late.

Most would say these were just coincidences.  I had a lucky day.  But I disagree.  Ya, they're little things, but they were miracles in my little life.  Some wonderful examples of the tender mercies of the Lord.

Recognize the little miracles in your life.  There's a lot more than you think.
