so anyone who knows a bunch about the LDS church knows about callings.
a calling is when you are asked to be a specific position in the church...it might be a sunday school teacher, a leadership position, or you {if you are a male with the priesthood} might even be called to be the bishop...but all of these positions are unpaid, and done by faith and obedience.
please...tell me if the following is a convert thing:
i am pretty sure i want every-single-calling possible that i could have...
when i think of what i would like to do
{and remember you don't pick your callings, so this was just daydreaming really}
i'll think of one calling, like being a relief society teacher, and then all of a sudden i think of a completely different calling, like working with the young women of the church {high school age} and knowing i would love that as well...
i get excited for every opportunity that is out there for me!
here comes the kicker...
remember this confession....
i asked to be released from my last calling...
which you just don't typically do...
so who am i kidding, i probably don't deserve one at all!
but i am ready when it happens!
:)
My favorite calling EVER was as the Beehive Advisor in Young Women's.... I just love working with the youth and I feel like I learned so much from the girls. I bet you would be an awesome YW leader! =]
ReplyDelete"...don't deserve one at all?" bah! sometimes life changes effect our callings in ways that we don't anticipate. while i don't recommend making it a habit, it's okay to ask for a release every once in a while. the Lord knows you and knows that you were a FABULOUS teacher to those 4yos.
