17 Miracles

Ty and I are REALLY good at starting movies at 11-12 pm and staying up super early to watch them.

Well, yesterday's movie, was the most touching movie I have ever seen.

I've seen it before, but holy sheesh, I bawled my eyeballs out.

17 Miracles.

If you haven't seen it, get to Costco NOW and buy it. It's only $17.99! (Part of my spending yesterday:)

Because I've seen it before, I knew what was going to happen when.

I thought, "Eh, I won't cry. I already know whats going to happen."

And then,

I cried.

Harder then I've ever cried before.

Not. Cool. Not cool I tell you.

But last night, the spirit was so strong, I pretty much couldn't fall asleep for a long time. When we said family prayer, I bawled the whole time. When I said my personal prayers, I bawled the whole time. When Ty handed me his patriarchal blessing to read, I bawled the whole time. When he read mine, I bawled the whole time. I pretty much bawled the whole time. And it wasn't cause I was sad. The spirit was SOOOOO strong.

So there are a couple of parts that are my favorite.

I won't share too much because it will ruin the movie.

But at the very beginning is this scene.

It shows her at church or whatever and then she gets home and her husband is drunk and super mad that she's been at church. And then she snuck away.

That started the tears.

Then, I can't even tell you what else happens.

Like, the Lord was with them the WHOLE time.

Ty kept leaning over and whispering,

"That is either John the Beloved or one of the 3 Nephites. I'm going with the Nephites."

And I know some of you say, "I just don't want to cry the whole time. (MOM)"

But trust me, it's worth your tears.

I'm so grateful for Heavenly Father and for the Spirit.

And of course,

17 Miracles.

XOXO,

Ash. (and technically Tyler)
