This was such a neat experience that I had to share. This shows me that even small & simple matters are known to our Father in Heaven.
Brady was giving a report today at school. When I saw his teacher on Tues, she said she would send home a paper with the times of the reports so that parents could come and watch and/or help. :) So I watched for the paper to come home yesterday, and it never came. I asked Brady (only a million times) what time is your report? He said 'I don't know.'
So today comes and Brady says 'I'll just call you from school and tell you what time to come.' Well, for those of you who don't know what a Blonde i am, I dropped my cell phone in the dishwater and broke it. So the only way to reach me is the home phone.
Well, I went down to the clubhouse to work out and got home around 9:30 and saw there were 2 calls from the school. It said I had 2 messages, and when I listened I only heard breathing and a hang up. I'm pretty sure it was Brady & not a prank caller! LOL But he never left a message.
So, I thought, "i'll just shower and head on over to see what time they're doing the reports. They probably won't do it until after lunch anyways". So I take my sweet time. I put extra conditioner on my hair. I ACTUALLY shave my legs! . . .etc etc. The minute I got out of the shower, this feeling came over me that 'you need to go to the school, now.'
I thought, ok. So i got dressed, combed my hair, put makeup on and started dinking around again. (you know, you'd think after all these years, I would learn to obey the FIRST time around and not geteasily distracted)
So while i'm dilly-dallying, the impression came again & stronger. You need to go to the school NOW. So I said to myself, "well i'll just hurry and make this phone call first. It will probably be ok if I prolong this another 5 minutes".
When it came VERY FORCEFULLY this time - you need to go to the school NOW.
SO I GO.
I get to the classroom and see the kids are all sitting in their seats and I walk over to Brady's teacher. I casually ask, "Hey, i just wondered what time the kids are doing their reports."
She says, "Right now, and Brady is up next." They had actually started doing the reports when school started and Brady was almost the last one to do his.
I know this wasn't a MONUMENTAL life altering experience, but it was important to my Brady. He never told me what time I should come. I know that Brady really wanted me to come. I know Brady has faith that can move mountains. His teacher told me as I was leaving, "Brady kept saying, can we wait to do it please? I know my mom will come." I'm sure that his sweet, tender heart probably prayed for me to come. I wish I could stop being a 'dilly-dallyer' because I could have broken my son's little heart. And that breaks my own heart to think of that!
I just thought how wonderful simple faith is and how we should follow every impression we get because it may not be significant to us, but it can mean the world to someone that needs us. :)

What a fabulous story...I love the little ones like that. They are almost better than the big ones, because you realize how important each of us are to Heavenly Father.
Yep, I think the little things do make up what 'it' is all about. Thankfully, Brady just needed you and not a mountain moved, right?
Thanks so much for sharing this sweet experience!
