Taller and Stronger

Tomorrow I will be taller.  I don't know why the prospect of being taller is so exciting to me,  but it is.  I was told I'll grow 1 1\2-2 inches.  I've actually lost 1 1\2 inches since high school so that will be nice getting that height back.

Tomorrow morning I check -in at 5:30 am for surgery.  Super early and I'm not sure I'm really going to sleep tonight.  Although,  right now I'm feeling remarkably calm.  I was able to receive a priesthood blessing from my dad today.  It was wonderful and brought me even greater peace.  A reminder of my Father in Heaven's love for me.

I've had a hymn running through my head for about several weeks.  It also brings me peace and strength.  It is "How Firm a Foundation".   The 3rd verse being my favorite right now:  Fear not, I am with thee: Oh, be not dismayed, for I am thy God and will still give thee aid.  I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, Up held by my righteous omnipotent hand.

There is a bookmark in my scriptures that I've had since I was a child.  It speaks my faith with simplicity: "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheth me." -Philippians 4:13

Goodnight all.  Tomorrow's a new day!
