Heavenly Father Knows Best

I have to admit reading other people’s blogs has been intimidating to me. I am just not much of a writer. Traditionally it has not been my strong suite. I refuse to let this hold me back so here it goes. Recently I was called in to speak to Brother Roos in the Bishopric. I thought to myself, I just gave a talk and I already have a calling so what could it be? Well Bro Roos decided to extend a second calling to me. The calling is youth Sunday school teacher (scary). I do love the youth but teaching them Sunday school put the fear in me. I never listened as a youth in Sunday school and I was a relatively good kid. Because I have another calling as visiting teaching coordinator he said I could think about it. Personally I would rather just be extended the call and not have to make the choice. I told him I would substitute for a few weeks and then let him know if it became too overwhelming. As I studied for my first lesson I realized something. I have been praying to Heavenly Father to help me to improve my scripture study. Well what do you know, when I have this calling in Sunday school I am forced to study my scriptures. My prayers have definitely been answered, just not in the way I expected them to be. So far I have really enjoyed teaching the kids. The bonus is studying scriptures just seems to make everything in my life better.

On a side note last Saturday was a most uplifting day. First was an amazing baptism in our ward of Dennis Neader. The spirit was so strong. I was then able to enjoy the Relief Society broadcast from Salt Lake. When President Uchtdorf spoke I was in awe. His talk truly spoke to my heart. I want to work on creating more of what I want in my life. I am so grateful for the life I have. I feel very blessed. Hugs to all my wonderful friends and family.
