Called to Serve....

Yesterday afternoon, I received a call (well, the answering machine RECEIVED the call, and I called back...like usual...but thats neither here nor there) from the Executive Secretary asking if I would meet with the Bishop before church today. Now, those who are members of the church may know that feeling that courses thru you when you get that call. The "holy crap, what did I do?" feeling....or maybe thats just me Ü. Of course, there is no reason to feel terrified, the Bishop is not there to chastize, since true repentance can only come thru our own free will (now, ain't that a whole other subject in itself). Maybe that feeling stems from being a troublemaker-child and having a father as a Bishop and a Bishop as a father....yeah, that might do it. Anyways...of course, I call the guy back and say, yes I would love to meet with the Bishop.
Then I'm going over and over in my head, WHAT COULD IT BE?! Seriously...you just never know. The calling I had previously was Sharing Time Coordinator (aka, The Fake Calling) and I truly LOVED it. So...as I am mulling over what the Bishop could POSSIBLY want...I think they have FINALLY figured out my beloved calling isn't needed and are going to call me to Nursery (GAH)!
Then this morning, with knots in my stomach, I sang the hymn "So trusting my all to thy tender care, And knowing thou lovest me, I’ll do thy will with a heart sincere: I’ll be what you want me to be..." in my head. And thought...I'll go where there is need! No matter what I WILL be happy! (even Nursery...gotta luv singing Where is Thumbkin!)

The Bishop asks me:
"Would you accept the calling as the 1st Counselor in the Primary Presidency?"
I was a little speechless.
I love the Primary with all my heart and am so grateful for the opportunity to serve and do my best to magnify my calling!

A blessing...

We have finally gotten callings after 8 months in this ward!
For the first few we were a bit MIA, every time we went
we would get the "Are you new?" question, or be asked
to introduce our family in Sunday School Ü. No biggie.
But this week, I actually sat down and prayed that Heavenly
Father we see fit to bless us with callings, letting Him know
that at least I was ready to give it 100 %, whatever He
chose for us.
James has been called to serve in the Sunday School
presidency as the 1st counselor. Pretty cool....James does
an awesome job with teaching that class. He will have to keep
up on the lessons, since he will have to sub if teachers
don't show up!
I have been called to serve as the Sharing Time coordinator.
I get to do both Jr and Sr Primary Sharing Time's for the
1st, 2nd and 3rd Sundays. How fun!! I think I have been in
charge of maybe 2 Sharing Time's in my calling history...
and it's gonna be a challenge to keep all them cutie's
attention...but I'm excited!!
I'm even more excited that Aubree gets to start nursery
in March! Woohoo....especially since we walked the ENTIRE
church and grounds for an hour today. That chica has
limitless energy!
