People might say that miracles don't happen every day. Hey. That's why they're miracles. Right? At least, people don't talk about miracles that happen in their lives all the time. A lot of this stuff is personal. I have experienced such things for myself. I know that they DO happen all of the time though. In this day and age especially, I believe that more of God's children are reaching out to Him to receive of His many blessings. I, myself have been compelled to do so, and I am grateful to have Him. He is our Father in Heaven. He wants US to come to HIM. I have felt His spirit, even in my daily life. It's hard to explain what it feels like. People have tried, but I don't think that anyone really understands until they feel it, and then, all they can do is encourage someone else to feel it too. Not even all Latter Day Saints know what it feels like, although revelation is the center of our religion. I know that even some outside the church know and can recognize the spirit, and that if they listen to it, it will guide them to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. These people are on the right track.

My original thought was to talk about how miracles happen every day, but now that I think of it, people view miracles as any spiritual experience. Every time we communicate through the Holy Ghost is a miracle. I know that this definitely happens every day, and that EVERYONE can feel it too. All we need to do is pray. We can, and maybe even should pray for spiritual experiences to strengthen our testimonies. I am also on the quest for Eternal Life, and invite you to feel free to expand on my scope, educate me, or even criticize me on this subject. I like people's opinions.

Hello again, the summer is winding down for us, and school will be starting soon, I'm homeschooled, and I love it. I have a better outlook on this year, and the nightmare about a schoolbus pulling into our driveway to pick me up has left, so here I go.

I won't hold another opinion against anyone, but I believe that homeschooling gives me more flexibility in pursuing education, and it also allows me to spend more time with my family. I have been thinking more recently about what career I want to pursue in particular. I have never really settled on any, and I've been thinking on this off and on for a good 3 years or so. I've asked kids in and out of my age group what they want to do when they grow up, the classic gradeschool question. I have probably heard only one or two who had any idea, and I think if I'm going to pursue an education, I should have a certain career in mind. Mom, what do you think?

I thank God for my mother who is so willing to homeschool me. Something you may find ironic is that she used to be an english teacher in the public school system. I have been homeschooled since the 5th grade. I'll open another blog later about how we came to homeschooling.

Hello,

I figure, I may as well put something up, open to discussion. Sometimes I hear kids say "It's our duty to pick on our younger siblings" whereas I reply "No, my siblings actually like me." Then they sort of get a strange look on their face, one of those, and that's the end of the conversation.

Ayway, just a thought.
