More miracles

It had been about a month since my experience in the Relief Society building, and although things were looking wonderful for a new CD, I hadn’t heard anything from Sister Lifferth. I began to wonder if all this was just too good to be true. Maybe things wouldn’t work out, and Greg Hansen wouldn’t want to produce the album if I didn’t end up singing at Women’s Conference. It was dumb to even think that way, especially since I had no doubt that the Lord was helping along everything that had happened so far, but still I was insecure. I hadn’t even told my family about my experiences. I don’t know exactly why, but I wondered if telling people would somehow make the experiences stop. I decided to call Sister Lifferth and ask her.

She returned my phone call enthusiastically telling me that she was excited for us to sing! I was so grateful. I asked her if it was okay to tell people that we would be singing, and her response was, “Of course!” It was funny how relieved and freed I felt to hear that! I wanted her to know that I would have a CD available, and wondered if she preferred us singing to a backup track or to a live piano for the performance. She said she’d leave that up to me, and then mentioned that if I had a CD to sell, she could make sure that there was a spot reserved for it at the bookstore. I couldn’t believe it. Wow. That was my goal! I was so happy.

I called Greg Hansen to tell him the news. He couldn’t believe it. Another miracle, but that wasn’t all. Greg decided to call some people he knew. He called me back only an hour or so later to tell me that Sounds of Zion would distribute the album, sight unseen, and that it would be available in Deseret Book stores and wherever else LDS products are sold. Believe me, when I tell you that I couldn’t sleep well that night!

My Relief Society president called me that day to ask me how things were going, and I just had to tell her the good news. She was actually calling from her cell phone out of state, helping out with a new grandchild, but she asked me if I would share my experiences with the women in our ward. That was difficult, but having the encouragement from Sister Lifferth, I told her I would.

As I shared my experiences with the women in my ward, I was able to bear my testimony of how much I know the Lord blesses us. Sometimes more than we ever hoped or expected. I haven’t always been this blessed, but there is no doubt in my mind, that these blessings have all come from Him. I’m so grateful. I hope that everything I have the opportunity to do now and in the future will bring Him glory.
