New Calling

I'm being released on Sunday from my dream calling (sniff, sniff). I'll let you know what my new calling is after I've been set apart on Sunday. I have to say I really didn't see this coming. I have loved, loved, loved being in Relief Society for the last almost two years and I will be very sorry to leave so soon. I really had found my niche in teaching RS and so that's probably why I'm being forced into a new, uncomfortable and intimidating calling.

Last night I was kind of in shock about it. Today I'm feeling a little better. It's not the first time I've been upset about a new calling at first - in fact I've had this very calling before and was upset about it the first time. What makes it even harder this time is that I've been released from a calling I absolutely loved and was totally comfortable with and have been asked instead to serve in a calling I don't love, and in fact was really glad to be released from the first time around. Hmph. Maybe Heavenly Father is giving me a chance to go back and do a better job (and have a better attitude about it?) I don't know.

I will say this, I have a strong testimony about callings. My own personal experience has taught me that no matter how I feel about a calling initially, when I give it my all, I always benefit. I'm sure it will be the case with this new calling as well. I can't imagine right now for what purpose I've been given this new call because I honestly don't feel like I belong there. I don't feel like I'm the best person for the job. Well, we do what we're asked in this church. I intend to give it my usual 100% and we'll see what happens.

Stay tuned.
