Pray always :D

Yesterday I was so scared and anxious all at one time. I came home from a party, and I could NOT find my iPod ANYWHERE. This iPod - ok, I know all of you adults will laugh at this - but it is my life. It has so many important things on it! All of my lessons learned at Pageant, some journal entries, and most importantly all of the notes and pictures and sweet letters Jada would write me whenever she felt that I needed a Pick-Me-up, or just because. And these mean so much to me! So naturally, when my iPod is nowhere to be found I start freaking out. Luckily, my first thought after the initial shock was to say a prayer. I paused for a moment and said a prayer, just hoping I would find it! After searching all over my house, in the van, and asking Emma to look in her house, I feel the need to go to bed, and in the morning go look again. This morning I woke up with to thoughts in my head. 1. I can go back to bed, wake up later then take my shower, or 2. I could get up now and check the van one more time. I walk outside to search the van, and notice my mom leaving for work. She was going to check the parking lot! How sweet?!?! Well, i looked in the van and didn't see it, then something caught my eye! I found my iPod! I was SO happy I had said that prayer and felt the spirit guiding me to it. I am proud of myself( I know, LAME) for my first thought when I found it was to pray in thanks to the Lord. I am so grateful for the power of prayer and for ability to take advantage of it, and to have that spirit with me.  As I have been going on in my daily life, I really have been able to appreciate the blessings the gospel has given me, and to realize how lucky I am. I see how genuinely happy I am, and I just want that for everyone! So, pray always that we may come of conquer.
