Something New

Posted by on
Last week I wrote that there was nothing new, but today there is.

I got a new calling today.

I HAD been in the Young Womens for over three years. I LOVE Young Womens. When I am 95-years-old, I will still love Young Womens and being with the youth, shakin' my 95-year-old body at the youth dances, and cheering at Girl's Camp. I will probably be a Young Womens leader in the next life too. That, or in the Relief Society, but I will have to have lived a Super Celestial life to deserve that one. Nothing touches Relief Society in wonderfulness.

My most feared calling is Primary. I am not sure why. I have always dreaded it. That calling or Ward Librarian. Those are two callings that I willed not to come to me.

I was called to the Primary.

Thank goodness the Church is True, because even while I sat sobbing through Sacrament Meeting as they released and recalled me, I felt myself change, shift.

I have changed into a Primary Teacher. I will love it. I am pumped.

You will be great, the Primary needs you! And I'm SO EXCITED that we get to trade off :)

You will do awesome. I felt the same way when I was called to Primary years ago. I had been in Young Women and thought I was going to be so sad, but my heart shifted. I completely loved being in that calling. Then, three years later when I got released, I had the same feeling: it was time. I love the way the Lord prepares our hearts and gives us opportunities to serve that we need.

I didn't think I would like Primary, but I did. It was just that I liked Relief Society so much, I didn't want to miss it, but two weeks into my calling and I was totally in Primary mode and forgot that anything else existed. I was almost confused when I went back to Relief Society... hmmm... you guys don't have singing time???

What age group? I subbed the 6 year olds once and I just got silly and they laughed... until the time was up.

The hardest thing I ever did was get released from YW. Seeeerious. I felt like I was fired. I wish I could have been able to let go as readily as you. But I'm not as Celestial as you so what can you expect really?

I can totally relate. I love being in Young Women's and dread a primary calling. Good thing the Lord makes all those decisions for us. How lucky for your primary!

I'm a little late on this post, but I too was just released from YW and put in as primary song leader - one of those dreaded callings for me. Little did I know how much fun I would have. Hope primary has turned into a blessing for you, too. I still really miss being with my girls in YW, though.
