Not Sure How I Feel About It!!

Those who read my blog, have already called and asked my what this post was all about so I really shouldn't have to write it, but I will for my sake to remember. We were headed to Tawnies house to celebrate a birthday and the bishopric called Ike and asked if we could come by the church. We were already running late, but we said that we could. Ike told me he was pretty sure it was for me since how he was most likely not going to be getting a new calling cause of his work schedule. I was just barely starting to feel comfortable in Activity Days which I had only been in for about 6 months, and was getting to know the girls. Well, Ike was right, it was for me. They asked me if I would accept the calling of Laurels Advisor in the Young Womens. First that came to my mind was I am not old enough to teach these girls, and I am only 5 years older than them. It was kind of nerve wracking and I wasn't really sure how I felt about it, like the title of the post says! I accepted the calling and was hoping all would go well and that not only me, but my family would be blessed from it as well.

 

It has been about a month since the new presidency has been in, I have only had to teach once so far, and it wasn't too bad. definitely will have to work on that and build up the confidence to not have it be such a scary thing for me to do. We have had lots of fun so far and I am hoping it will only continue to get better. Quite a few of the girls are not far in Personal Progress, so we are going to put an extra focus on that, after stake camp is over with that is. So if anyone has any suggestions on ways to encourage them and get them excited about it let me know.

 

I am grateful that I accepted the calling and I can tell how it has blessed my life already. It has helped me to grow in the gospel and be a better church member and still could be better. It has helped me get to know more people in my ward and let it feel more like a family ward now. I am grateful for Ike and for the priesthood which he holds and for the opportunity I have to have blessings when life gets hard. God always give me comfort through blessings and lets me know that it will be okay and everything will work out how it is suppose to. Though they don't always answer the things I want them to, he provides me with guidance in the things he knows are the most important for me in my life. I have loved being able to read through my patriarchal blessing and see the things that are mentioned and how many of them have happened already in my life and am excited for the many more things that have been promised to me, if I can live righteously.
