Hand of the Lord 30- Day challenge

I apologize for my total lack of posts last week. We were off school for the entire week and I didn’t really spend much of any time on my laptop because of that.
Excuses aside, it was a really wonderful week, and I loved having the break from school.
This week Spring Semester classes started. I’m taking a Book of Mormon course, and one of the assignments in the course is to write about the “Hand of the Lord” in my life everyday for 30 days.
The Hand of the Lord is the idea that good things come from God, and writing them down is a way to acknowledge and sometimes realize that there are good things. I’ve done similar challenges before, and it’s really cool how much they make bad days bearable. There’s a song in the LDS hymn book called “Count Your Blessings” which basically says that if you’re having a hard time, to stop and count all the good you have in your life and it’ll be better.
Since I tend to forget unless someone is poking me on, I decided I’d post the journals here. Basically that means I will post a blog entry everyday, starting tomorrow, for the next 30 days or so. I figured that would kind of make up for my absence last week, and give me a really good reason (besides my grades) to do this.
Starting tomorrow, I will be doing the 30-Day Hand of the Lord challenge, feel free to participate with me, if you’d like, it should be really fun!
