change

I think that it is pretty safe to say that the Lord knows us all pretty well. One of the things that the Lord knows about me is, I don't deal well with change.

For some time now I have worked in the Relief Society presidency and have been greatly blessed because of it. I believe that this calling is what sustained me through Mike having to work on Sundays. In many ways this calling has kept me actively serving my "sisters." Through this time I have found a greater love for the organization of the Relief society. I have seen it in it's magnitude. I have received countless blessings from it. I have served with amazing ladies who I don't think I would have gotten to know had it not been for this calling. I love them with all my heart and can truly call them my sisters! I am grateful for their testimonies of Jesus Christ. I am grateful for their example. They are compassionate and loving.

A couple weeks ago I had an impression that there might be a change coming in my church calling. I knew that in time I would be asked to serve somewhere else in the church. That is why I say the Lord knows me. He knew I needed a few weeks to mentally prepare for this. Well my feeling was confirmed a couple nights ago when the bishop stopped by. It was with a heavy heart that I agreed to take a new calling as a teacher in Primary. Not that I don't love our primary children but the Relief Society has just been a great source of joy and I am sad to leave. Of course I feel a big weight lifted from my shoulders and I am excited to teach these little 5/6 year olds, but I will greatly miss Relief Society and my sisters there.
