Neglect

Housework, Laundry, Sleep, Blogging... Yes these things have been neglected. Some more then others. The reason being is I just got called to be the Secretary in the Primary Presidency!!!

I was a primary teacher before hand. This past year since being in this calling I have really grown, my confidence & testimony are probably the two main ones. When I was first called I was a bit intimidated. The class had the reputation of being tough & I didn't know any of the kids or their parents & believe it or not I'm not super outgoing. It takes a while for me to "warm up". October is really where I can say I started feeling the most growth. With the primary program at the end of the month I was feeling the spirit so strong during singing time. I think I was crying every week! Haha. Of course I was trying to play it cool, but the Primary President then & now both told me they would notice me & wonder if I was ok or not because I would start getting teary eyed at the most random points. There was also a week when I was teaching my primary lesson that I totally got choked up on a story I was reading & one of the secretaries at the time happened to walk in. Blast! I was a little embarrassed to say the least. My class was so funny. They just sat there & stared at me wondering if they were the cause for my crying. Then about the end of November the 1st counselor was put in the stake primary & therefore released. It was at that moment I had this feeling "prepare yourself" I kind of shrugged it off & didn't think much of it. Then I got a call from the 1st counselor in the bishopric wanting to meet with me. I had another feeling at that moment "prepare yourself, you're going to be the secretary in the presidency" When Brother Morrow & Brother Rupp showed up & extended the call. I was surprised to hear that my feelings were right but at the same time prepared. A neat experience. The end of the year getting ready for the new year has been CRAZY. We as a presidency have been meeting every Sunday since the call to gather our thoughts & plans for the new year. I have been chugging away at updating & organizing the files I was given so it makes sense to me. With doing that I'm also juggling getting ready for Christmas & my Sister in Laws wedding. And well my friends, that is why housework, laundry, sleep, & blogging are being neglected. I am super excited to get to serve in the presidency with the other woman there. They are all super neat & can't wait to get to know them better. This calling is going to help me grow in other areas of my life & I'm excited for that!!! This is a busy time of year & I'm now an even busier lady :)
