Callings

At the beginning of May, I was called as the Primary Secretary. I absolutely loved it. I loved learning about all the kids, and being a support to the rest of the presidency. My favorite part though, was getting to work with our amazing Primary President, Ashley. She is such a wonderful and sweet person with so much love in her heart for the people around her. I haven't been around many people like her, and it really made me look deeper into myself, and think about the person I want to be. (She has seriously changed me)

But just 3 months later, the whole presidency was released (they had all been in there for 4 years). I was devastated. When you get that kind of a calling, you don't expect to only be in for 3 months. I cried a lot, I was confused, questioned what I might have done wrong. It was a really tough week following my release.

Then, I was called into the Young Women (secretary). LOVE IT!!!

But I learned that the new Primary presidency has changed so much that the previous one had done. And it was hard to hear, because I believed in the way it was done before.
Bottom line . . . . . Heavenly Father knows what He's doing. I don't do well with change, and it would have been really hard for me to deal with all the new changes had I stayed in the primary. Heavenly Father knew that, and I truly believe that it was a blessing for me to be released. He knows me better then I know myself. And for that . . . I'm grateful.
