Callings

After having served for a little over three years in the Young Women's Presidency. I was released today. I had bitter sweet feelings about this, but I knew that it was the right decision. I truly love these girls, and have grown very fond of them all. They all have beautiful testimonies and they are all so strong, in so many ways. I wish that I may have been that strong when I was their age. They all have wonderful parents, who have raised them righteously, and that have taught them the correct principles and how to live them in their lives. I will miss these girls and the relationships that I have made with these girls. I do know that the relationships I have made with them all will continue into the next life, and I am so grateful for them blessing me in my life. I needed their strength at times when I felt my world was crashing in on me.

I have truly loved this calling, and I will miss it. My hope is that the girls will continue to be successful in this life and achieve all of their goals. It was such a wonderful opportunity to serve these girls and to teach them by example. Thank you to Sandy, Rebecca and Sarah for your many hours of service, and your dedication. These girls were so blessed to have you in their lives, and I too was very blessed to have gotten to know each of you personally. Friendship like this will continue in this life and in the next life.

I am ready for whatever the Lord has in store for me. I look forward to this next year, and I look forward to teaching the CTR 5 class in primary. I love little kids, and look forward to hearing their testimonies, and how much they love the Lord. I am sure this will strengthen my testimony in ways that are not yet known to me. I love this gospel, it is true, and I strive to live it everyday.

Conference

I really enjoyed conference. It was just what I needed. I love the talk that Sister Dibb gave on Sunday morning. There were so many things that I needed to hear, and that I need to remember, from all of the conference Sessions. I have found deep within myself a new found commitment to do the things that I need to do. I know that I need to have more faith in my Heavenly Father, and that I need to trust him with all that happens, in this life, and the life to come.
I have a very hard time reading from my scriptures everyday, but have committed to myself that I CAN and WILL do it, and that I am going to try and finish them by the end of the year. I know that if I do, that the Lord will bless me and my family in the blessings that we need at that certain time.
I am so grateful for all that my Heavenly Father has given me in my life. I truly have been so blessed.
I am really looking forward to sitting down and reading the messages from Conference, and to feel the spirit testify of it's truthfulness.

Monday Night Football & Baseball Playoffs

Well today is Monday, and Shane just had to get home right after work. He had things to do before Monday Night Football came on. For all of you who don't know that Shane LOVES the Minnesota Vikings. He has loved them since he was a little kid, but I think his love has grown even stronger this year with the addition of Brett Farve to HIS team.

Monday Night Football happens to be an exciting one tonight. It is a game of Rivals the Green Bay Packers vs. Minnesota Vikings. Good Luck to the best team.

I am just way excited that it's MLB playoffs!!!! Yippee!!!!!! Go Yankees!!!!! I just love October!!!!
