Today, I had a breakdown. There was a miscommunication with my school and I was left feeling empty and lost. But the purpose of this is not to speak of my problems. The miracle was a man named Alex. Upon hearing of my heartache, he came over and held me while I cried. This may seem like much less than a miracle but for me it meant so much. I don't cry in front of people. It's just something that I don't do. So, when I was able to let go of everything and just cry, that was a big breakthrough for me. Sometimes the Lord has to knock us down to seemingly, our lowest point, in order for us to truly appreciate Him. What a miracle!

January 3rd: The Miracle of a Bed
January 3, 2014
I spent almost all day driving today. 14 hours from California all the way up to Idaho, by myself. Amongst the many miracles that happened, the one that touched me most was Chrissy. While I was driving, I began to get tired. I know, crazy! I got to Provo, Utah and realized I could use some sleep. I called Chrissy- another angel on Earth- and asked to sleep at her place. She obliged with no questions asked. She took such great care of me and let me sleep in the most comfortable bed I could ever imagine. I found out later that she had just gotten her wisdom teeth extracted. Just more proof of her sainthood. I would have been a mess if I were her. Yet, she didn't think about herself and just served me. What a miracle!

January 2nd: The Miracle of Strength
January 2, 2014
I got to spend my last day in California with one of my best friends- Bridget. She is living proof that angels walk the Earth. She has this amazing way of helping me see the good in life. The miracle occured today was something I needed for quite some time. I stood up for myself. Even when it was hard and I was so scared. It took a lot for me to do that, but with the help of Bridget, I was able to appreciate the strength that the Lord had blessed me with. What a miracle!

January 1st: The Miracle of Fire
January 1, 2014
I started off the year with one of my favorite people in the world- my nephew Tristan. He is 5 and loves everything to do with heroes. He is the living proof that man's best friend truly is a dog. My family has a dog named Roadie. He is a pit bull and very, very dumb. Don't worry, I will highlight his stupidity soon for you.
At midnight every year we celebrate by lighting the Christmas Tree on fire. This year was no exception. So, when we lit the tree it burst into flames. Tristan screamed with a tinge of fear and excitement. Roadie, our silly dog, has taken it upon himself to watch over Tristan and be his personal guard dog. It's cute really, however, it does have it's problems. This instance he was more of a problem.
Amidst the pillar of fire that once was our tree, Roadie jumped. The dog attacked the fire so that Tristan wouldn't be harmed. This, in turn, scared the poop out of my nephew. Turns out the dog was fine. Just a few singed whiskers. The dynamic duo that was Tristan and Roadie could continue. What a miracle!

About Me
My name is Katie Blood, I am 23 and I am a Mormon. I knew you all were wondering about my religious affiliation. I say that because everything about my life is centered on my beliefs. So the only way to get to know me is to know where my heart is. I currently live in the Gem State of Idaho. I grew up in California and don't really know what I was thinking going to school where it is a frozen tundra over 9 months out of the year.
I had the opportunity to serve a full time LDS mission for a measly year and half of my life. I got back in May of 2013. In November of that same year I was diagnosed with depression. Which didn't make sense to me because I have always been a happy person. It wasn't until then that I had realized that I had lost who I was. I lost meaning and control in my life. Now, I have always been avidly against any sort of medication. So, when they made me start taking medication I was adamant about getting off of it as soon as possible.
That being said, any one of my family members can tell you that I take New Year's resolutions very seriously. I decided that I would start this blog and point out a miracle everyday this year. In doing so, I figure that I will be able to focus on the blessings the Lord has given me instead of my trials.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I know I will.
