Hand of the Lord Day 1

So, in a religion class I am taking at my college, we have been challenged to keep a "Hand of the Lord" Journal, where we write down the events of the day that we see His hand in; the blessings we have received in the day. This is day one, and I will continue it for 30 days, after which I will proceed to write it in my journal instead. During school technology just seems to be the way to go to make sure I keep up with things.

Today I smiled at an old friend, someone who I had not been speaking to for awhile. It had been troubling me that I had lost complete contact and I was trying to figure out what to do about it. They smiled at me, and I returned the smile, and had a brief conversation after via skype. It brought more peace to me.
I was able to read a talk given by a church leader that helped me see that we are given the GIFT to save lives. It is all through Him that we are able to do so. That brought me such humility, of which I was grateful for.
I was able to focus and find a quiet place to study for an exam that has been stressing me. It helped take the stress away and helped me see that so long as I put forth my best efforts, I will do fine.
I smiled at so many people. They smiled back. It boosted my attitude. I recognized the spirit.
I was in the right places at the right time. Made it to all of my classes. Was able to focus in my religion class because I had no other homework or quizzes that needed to be studied for, and learned more about my Savior. I learned things about Jesus' time spent in the America's that I had not previously picked up on, and it was through the spirit that I did so.
His hand is in everything that is good. We need not fear if we are doing good, and have the Lord on our side.
