This last Sunday I was called to be the Young Women's President in our Ward...hence the overwhelmed part! I'm SO excited and completely humbled to be trusted with the young women. I know how your teenage years can change everything in your life, and how the right person can have a huge impact on those years. I also know how much the girls loved the past Presidency and I hope they will love us as much. Over the summer I was able to go to Girls Camp as the assistant camp director. I loved every second of our week we were able to spend together!! I had a feeling then I was being prepared for YW's but I was not willing to admit it since I was put in the Relief Society six months prior. I just kept thinking I would be back at camp next year and that was all, yet my heart kept telling me different. It's amazing how the Heavenly Father works and prepares us for different adventures in our lives. So when the Bishop asked me, I was not at all expecting to be called as the President!! That calling seemed way above my capabilities!! I never ever imagined ME in this calling. But like I said before I have felt like I was being prepared months before (I just never imagined in this capacity). I'm really excited to get to know the amazing Young Women in our ward. I know we are going to have tons of fun and hopefully learn some things too ;-) I am lucky enough to have the greatest women serving with me. I know I could not do it without any of them. I was sad to leave RS but honestly, my heart has been in the Young Women since Girls Camp. Once again, our Father in Heaven is control of everything!!!
I hope Ben is ready to have lots of one on one time on Tuesday nights with the kids at home. I know he's probably just as overwhelmed if not more than I am for this next chapter in our lives. But luckily I am married to THE greatest man in whole world and he can handle anything!!! One thought keeps coming to my mind over and over again since I was asked to do this and that thought has been....
I hope I can be the type of leader that I want Cass to have. But I also know I have the greatest support system here on this earth and in Heaven!! So with that as my motivation I know....
I can do hard things!!!
