The Lord does have a sense of humor!!

I am feeling overwhelmed with my life and my life with Emmett. He just finished his 3rd surgery of the year and I am exhausted, I was seriously thinking of making the call to the Bishop to let him know that I needed to take a year off of all my church responsibilities.

I think I am finally coming down off of my adrenaline rush so I was having all of these overwhelming feelings. Well with my thoughts came the Lords response long before I could make the phone call to the Bishop. A counselor in the Bishopric came by our home to extend a call to me. I have been called to be the secretary in Primary.

WHAT??? ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? The Bishopric Counselor knew everything that we were going through and said that I could think about it. Really? Do I need to think about it? No, I know that this was the Lord telling me that I need to serve. I need to dive into serving so that I can "feel" again. Feel the spirit, feel the love of service, just feel the good instead of feeling overwhelmed.

This goes to show that the Lord knows what's best for me.  So I accepted the calling, with the understanding of I would be out of commission for the whole month of December to take care of Emmett and now my dad who will be having surgery. Everyone was so understanding.

As I have been engaged in this calling, I have come alive. I have had my fire relit and am excited to serve and mostly to work. I haven't worked in a few years. You know created things on the computer, felt fulfilled by improving a process, etc. I am so excited to be working the other part of my brain, that has been ignored since Paige was born.


I am thankful that the Lord does have a sense of humor! Just when I think I know best, he is quickly there to let me know that it's his plan - NOT MINE!!!
