David A. Bednar: The tender mercies of the Lord are real and they do not occur randomly or merely by coincidence. The Lord's tender mercies are the very personal and individualized blessings, strength, protection, assurances, guidance, loving-kindnesses, consolation, support, and spiritual gifts which we receive from and because of and though the Lord Jesus Christ.

Vertigo. Again.

Wednesday started out as a normal day. Paul was home so we went to lunch and little grocery shopping together. Later that night at 7:00pm I started to feel motion sick. I thought that was strange since I'd been home for 3 hours and was feeling fine until that moment. Well, it didn't get any better. It got worse. For the next 2 hours I spent most of it trying to throw up. I finally forced myself to but I didn't feel any better. I finally called my doctor. He said I had Vertigo. Again. Seriously?! I was so upset! He said it was probably caused by the cold I've had for several weeks. He gave me a few things to try and said if it didn't get any better, to go into the hospital for a steroid shot. By 9:30 I was nervous and scared that it would affect my good ear. So Paul called our friend Hyrum and he came over to help Paul give me a Priesthood blessing. The last time I had Vertigo it lasted for 5 days before I got on anything for it and it continued for several more. I went into the doctor yesterday morning at 9am and was given a steroid shot. By early afternoon the dizzyness was gone. The nausea was gone by this morning.

I know that by the power of the Priesthood I'm feeling good less than 2 days from the initial onset of the Vertigo. I know the Lord loves me and wants me to be happy. I know He's there and that he hears our prayers. I know the power of the Priesthood is real! I've been witness to it too many times in my life to ever deny it.
