So today at church I was released as the 1st Counselor in the Young Womens (YW) organization. Mixed feelings about that - I will really miss the energy of being with the youth, but it was a pretty demanding calling. I didn't last long - only 7 months! Strange timing, too, with Sarah entering YW at the beginning of March. I was planning on keeping her in line during activities, etc. Maybe it's time for her to venture out more on her own. Don't know.
My new calling is as 1st Counselor in Relief Society, responsible for education. That means that I'll get to fill in for any absent teachers/last minute emergencies. That will keep me on my toes! Luckily, a the last few years of teaching seminary, sunday school, and young women have prepared me well. If I can handle the youth, well, hopefully I can handle the adults! I'm not sure which group asks the tougher questions, though. I'll also be leading a teacher development class, so I'll get the chance to brush up on my teaching skills. Hmmm...I'm not sure if or how that "If you can't do, then teach" expression applies to teaching teachers...
I do know that the Lord knows what he's doing with all of these callings, and eventually I'll see the plan. Time to go get book-smart!
