A Piece of Humble Pie

Wow, I was just called to be the 2nd Counselor in the Primary Presidency. I am truly humbled. I did not expect this for a million years. There are so many great women in our ward that I just figured they had it taken care of. I was very shocked when the Bishop asked me and I did not know what to say...I asked him if he was sure and he said it wasn't him who called me it was the Lord. That made me feel even more overwhelmed. I think I walked around the house for the next couple of hours just stunned. I do know that this is where I am supposed to be and have felt that confirmation even with the overwhelming thoughts of what my calling entails but I know that the Lord sees the bigger picture and if I follow his will, I will be blessed. I will have lots of learning to do but I know that with the Lord and my testimony in the Gospel I will make progress and become a better woman. The women that I am serving with are truly AMAZING women and I know that I will constantly be learning from them and their great examples. They are women who walk in Christ light and I know that I am blessed to serve with them. The children in our ward are so special too I know that these precious, pure and treasured spirits are going to bless my life in ways I never imagined and I just feel honored that the Lord trust me enough to play such a big part in their lives.
