Last Few...

Challenge 19: What's a temptation you once faced, but overcame it?
When I was younger, I had a couple friends that I would do almost anything for. I would change to be like them, like the things they like, and do the things they would do. Later in Junior High, and in High School, I slowly broke apart from these friends, and found new ones. The first friends have changed. They're not bad people, by any means, but not all their standards are what mine are. I'm afraid if I would have worked to stay friends with them, I would have been tempted to change my standards as well.

Challenge 20: What is a miracle you've experienced in your life?
Well, I think life itself is a miracle, every part of it. The fact that the world exists, that we LIVE, everything Heavenly Father has given us... it's all miraculous.
I think my favorite miracle of all though was having my mom live as long as she did with cancer. Originally she was told a maximum of 5 years, and she lived to 7. THEN, around 7, she was told 4-6 weeks, and stayed with us another 2 months. And even had the chance in those 2 months to leave hospice, come home, and live with us again for a few weeks. Though I wish I could take out the cancer and everything it brought completely, I am still thankful for the miracle of her health all those years. To raise my brothers and me to the best we could be. To still be a mother. To forget herself and help us. And even now, to what I have become since then. The whole scenario was a miracle, and without it, I would be no where near the person I am today.
