Tender Mercies

I'm posting twice in one day (judge me), but I have been incredibly blessed lately, and I wanted to post some tender mercies I have seen in my life these last few weeks.

  • I was extremely nervous about getting a high enough GPA to keep my scholarship.  I signed up for some tough classes this last semester, and based off the calculations I did, I believed there was no way I could maintain a high enough GPA.  My mom and I prayed our guts out that things would work out.  I was beyond surprised when I looked at my transcripts this morning and realized that although my grades were all the same, somehow, my GPA had been raised.  Prayer and miracles are real.  
  • My best friend's mission call was also another tender mercy.  Recently, my best friend, Jeanette was called on her mission to South Korea.  Jeanette has always been fascinated with Korean culture, and it was a neat experience to see her so excited and happy.  Although I acknowledge that not everyone gets called to the mission of their dreams, and that God still lives despite that fact, it strengthened my testimony deeply in  revelation.   Whoever made the final decision to assign Jeannette to Korea surely had no idea that Jeanette already loved that country.  However, she was still called to serve there.  Coincidence? I think not.  
  • My last tender mercy is also a bit of an announcement.  

I finished my mission papers.  

I am grateful for the opportunity to serve a mission and consider it one of the greatest of God's tender mercies.  How fortunate I am that He allows me to be apart of this great work.  For that, I am truly grateful.  My availability date is May 15, 2015.  

All my love, 

Kim
