"Two roads diverged in a wood,
and I, I took the one less traveled by
and that has made all the difference."
Robert Frost
The Road Not Taken
I love this poem and it applies to a lot of aspects in my life. But right now I wanted to share my thoughts about one part of my life, my church calling.
I don't post too much about my calling, because I want to be sensitive to those that don't want their picture or names plastered all over the internet. But my blog is about my life and everyday activties, and my calling takes up a whole lot of my day and activity.
I love my calling. I love the young women I work with. I love the leaders I work with. Yes, it is extremely demanding and stressful at times, but it's not the people that are stressful, it's the extra stuff that helps things go from "so, so" to "so, wow". I love that my husband supports me in whatever I need to do. There are many times, embarrasing to admit, that my only real spiritual nourishment for the week comes from sitting in the lessons during young women. I love to go to firesides and really listen to what is being said, and really feel the spirit teach and uplift. I love to go to activities and feel the spirit, or laugh and have a good time. I love that when I come home every Tues. night, I feel happy (and yes, sometimes relieved) and feel that I have more to give to my family.
I love that I learn from each young woman. They are amazing and I know that they all have awesome potential to do great things. I love the leaders I work with. They all work so hard to do the best they can for each girl. Hearts have been bonded and friends for life have been made.
Heavenly Father knows what I need.
I am so grateful that I have chosen to take the road less traveled. It truly has made all the difference.
