Are You Sure?!



Except my tshirt would say....
"Can't DRIVE"
"Won't COOK"
"Drinks DR PEPPER"

And by the way, the TSHIRT doesn't work....

The first words out of my mouth after our bishop extended the call were....
"Are you sure?!?!?, you know I don't drive right?!?! 

He reassured me over and over that he hadn't made a mistake and that I just needed to call councillors who could do what I could not...

I wondered and wondered in the days before I was sustained...how the heck I could do what had been asked.

It's hard not to see all your own short comings and weaknesses and trials and family circumstances and not think of the hundreds of reasons sister____ or sister_____ would be a better choice. What about this? And that? ....

I struggled and prayed continually in those day for reassurance and comfort....

 " I will help you " was the answer that kept coming.

Sunday was so special and humbling and emotional...

Dallyn, my baby was ordained a priest.
I was set apart as Relief Society president.
and we remembered my Mom, who said goodbye on a Sunday 12 years before.



I still feel overwhelmed but I am grateful to serve with the amazing Sisters in the Courtenay Ward.
