Times, they are a changin'

My head is swirling with conflicting emotions. Yesterday I was released after serving for three years as the Primary President in our ward. There is relief and a great amount of sadness. I never felt comfortable with the title or the responsibility. There were dozens of women who I felt were more qualified. But now that it's over I am so sad. I have grown to love the 80 or so kids as if they were my own. I felt so lost yesterday. During Sunday School I kept hoping for a wiggle song. :) I am very grateful for the opportunity to serve and even more grateful for the growth I experienced. I would have never imagined that I was capable of serving during so many personal circumstances (i.e. a difficult internship year, pregnancy and having a newborn, a husband who is gone a lot, etc) but by serving in this capacity I learned that I don't give myself enough credit. I am capable of more than I realize. I can't express how thankful I am to my Heavenly Father for allowing me to learn and grow and serve. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the same church as the one that Christ established on the earth. It is restored and on the earth today, run by inspired prophets and leaders with Jesus Christ at the helm. We have a loving Heavenly Father who knows each one of us personally and gives us opportunities to grow. I will miss serving in Primary but look forward to what the next chapter brings.
