Very Thankful for My AWESOME Calling

So lately I haven't been able to sleep well. Which by the way is totally out of character for me. I usually sleep like a baby, even when the hounds wake me up 2 or 3 times a night. But I have so many things going on in my head I'm trying to figure out, that once I wake up it's almost impossible to go back to bed. So as I was laying in bed, after being woken up at 3am to let Strom out to do her thing, and was overcome with my LOVE for my calling. I absolutely adore working with the Young Women. They are such good girls. I love them so much and I hope I manifest that love through my lessons and the activities we plan for them. I feel truly blessed to get to learn from these bright eyed BEAUTIFUL girls. We have girls camp coming up and I keep thinking of last year and the spirit that was so strong, the fun we had and the lessons that were learned. When I was first called to be the 2nd councilor in the YW I thought our Bishop was crazy! What do I have to offer these girls? But I soon found out that it's the lessons the YW presidency and the girls will teach me that I needed in my life right now. Not the other way around. I just hope I can give back a portion of the love and life's lessons they have shared with me. I look at these girls and they are so much stronger then I was at that age. We really are raising up a choice generation and I feel blessed that Heavenly Father has given me this opportunity to help guide them in the right direction. I hope the bishop doesn’t plan on letting me go any time soon because I’m just starting to figure all this out (and from what I hear that’s when you get a new calling). Anyway I just thought I would share a portion of what’s rambling through my mind at 4:30 in the morning. Hopefully now I can go to bed.
