after having my sweet murph murph, i felt a little blue. a lot anxious, and a little overwhelmed. it was so hard to be in vegas where my friends and family are in utah. but, i kept breathing and breathing and breathing.
nic gave me a few blessings and we talked me through it most nights after the babies were fast asleep (thank goodness for my best sleepers). one thing nic mentioned to me in an email was that maybe i needed a hobby. some me time, to focus not on other people (aka my kids and nic). he mentioned photography, my job, running, etc...
well that week while nic was at school our sweet bishop came over and extended a calling to me, to be in the yw! MY HOBBY! i couldn't quit smiling. life is so good and god is so good, he knows me. i am so grateful for my calling and the chance i have to love these girls in our ward and area. i have felt a million tender mercies since then and things are really working out and my life is feeling so much happier. i love the service of the lord, the yw, and the come unto me curriculum. we have really had such a good time as a new presidency. i absolutely love them and have found such great friends in these women. it genuinely is exactly what i needed.
when we got set apart we were each given special blessings. i loved hearing that the lord knew me, my talents, and my abilities. it has stretched me, balancing a newborn baby and a new yw presidency has been a lot. but at the same time i feel like it has been completely guided by an all knowing and loving heavenly father.
melanie, the new yw president mentioned to me that she knew for sure i was supposed to be her first counselor. she didn't know anything about me. that i am a convert, that i have a slight addiction to the yw program, or that i needed this calling more than anything. the spirit works wonders in our lives if we use it. this has prompted me to really focus on the spirit and follow its tender guidance.
