Well, this week has been fairly interesting for me. It all started on mikes B-day when we got called in for a bishops interview, I was released and then the bishop talked about taking "periods of rest" for a while, it occurred to me that he may not be extending another calling to me at this moment, in the few seconds of realization I had panic sweep over me. I love to be involved in the church I love to be busily serving the Lord. At the beginning of our interview he asked me how I felt about my calling and one of the things I said was that I felt like I didn't get to serve enough! SO back to the panic stricken moment...
it didn't last very long becuase then surprisingly, I was called as second counselor to the Relief Society presidency. I am thinking I will get my opportunity to serve more! LOL. as I am sure you can imagine this week has brought so many different emotions, I actually had myself convinced that when I got to church today the bishop would pull me aside and tell me they were putting some one else in as the second counselor. I am not at all doubting the others called as president and 1st counselor, just my own issues to contend with. I have wondered things like: how can I even do this job right? I mean seriously Had my heavenly father looked deep into my soul lately...cause I am feeling like he conveniently skipped over some major flaws....I can think of some many others who would just shine in this calling....( and as I re-read this it occurs to me that the Lord usually calls the person with many flaws.....)
I thought I was being a bit dramatic but as I watched all the emotions of the others involved in this process I realized I was normal and O.k to feel overwhelmed, unsure of what to do, and anxious to get everything done the way the Lord wants it done and not mess it all up! I am so grateful I am not the new president, WOW she has got so much to figure out, That's why Heavenly Father calls REALLY AMAZING people to that particular calling. Once I worked this all out a few hundred times in my head I feel a tiny bit better about it all....
So here I am, its official, I get to do more for the Lord...Lets get started.

How cool for you though.. now you have reserved seating in the relief society room :)
You'll be wonderful, absolutely wonderful!
you are going to be great, sometimes The Lord calls really awesome people to help the president, I think this is one of those times...Ever since I first met you and Mike (you tow were called to be primary teachers and I orintated you to the new calling), then when you served as primary pianest, I knew you were extremely capable, talent and spiritually secure...Blessings are coming your way...so watch out!!
