Lately I have become increasingly overwhelmed with different aspects of my life. Cub Scouts, Day Camp to name a few. I was at the point where I didn't want to be in charge of anything anymore. I didn't want to have others depend on me to figure out what to do/solve their problems/fix the solution. I was feeling like I was at the end of my rope.
Sunday came along. I got up. Got ready for church as usual. Got the boys to church. Before church starts Brother Josi asked to talk to me. Okay. Sure. I need to get a building key anyway for scouts since I can't seem to remember to get Russell's.
So I go see Brother Josi. He has issued a calling. Yes I say. I don't even know what it is yet. Then I got to thinking...maybe I should find out what I am supposed to be doing. We want to you be the 1st counselor in Young Women's. Oh says I. I haven't been in YW for 20 years. This will be a new experience.
So much for not being overwhelmed and not being in charge. Apparently this will be my life for a while. I will just hop on the train and go along for the ride. :) And be happy about it.
I am so excited to get to be with girls! I am excited to get to know the Mia Maids and Laurels from our ward. I've spent the past 3 1/2 years in Primary with the younger kids and enjoyed that immensely.
My life at home is with all guys. Sometimes it feels like a testosterone competition! Too much for one lone momma bear to handle sometimes.
