I recently received a new calling. I was called to be the Mia Maid advisor. And I was really excited to be working in Young Women's again, and teaching doesn't bother me, I really love it. However, I will really miss the kids in Primary. There is nothing sweeter than hearing the little kids sing about the gospel. And they would belt those songs out, I shed many a tear, and felt many a goosbump while they were singing.
Well, I had forgotten how involved being in Young Women's is, and when I came to that realization, suddenly I wasn't as excited.
It's just hard to juggle everything and feel like you are giving the right amount of time to it all.
However, tonight I have had a revelation, an insight if you will.
My personality, if you don't already know, is one of perfectionism and stress. I get quite worked up over the smallest things, and it really is a good thing for me to get away every once in a while to regroup and get prepared to fight the next days battles. And I just haven't been getting much of this time lately.
So while I was sitting tonight at a fireside, by myself I might add, I realized that being in Young Women's has allowed me to nourish my soul again. I can go to Gospel Doctrine, read and prepare lessons that apply to me as much as they apply to the girls, attend activities, and go to firesides. I cannot tell you how good it felt to sit and actually listen to a talk and really feel the spirit without having kids around.
There is a time and a season for everything, and I know the Lord really does hear and answer our prayers, He has answered mine and allowed me the opportunity to work with some really awesome girls, and to allow my cup to be filled in a way that it has not been filled for a long time.
