New Calling

I just got called as the new Young Women first councellor in our ward. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed right now. I've known about this for a week, but couldn't say anything until I was sustained, which happened today. At first, I was so happy that they didn't release me from Young Women. Now, I'm feeling so nervous about my new responsiblities. I've been very emotional all day. I only hope that we, as a new presidency, can fill the shoes of the awesome presidency that was just released. I guess the Lord wouldn't call me to this if He didn't think I could do it. I love the girls in our ward, and especially the Miamaids that I've been working with for a year and a half now. I ask for your prayers on my behalf. I feel the weight of this calling, but I also feel the joy that will come! "I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded...." will be my new motto from now on. I'm grateful to belong to this church. It brings so much peace to my life. I know I'm supposed to be here right now. I love my family and I love the Lord. I hope I can fulfill my calling as He would have me do.
