Trent recently cleaned the computer, and I don't know where he put all of my pictures. I don't even know where to begin looking.
As most of you know, I have accepted a calling to be Relief Society President. How on earth did that happen? I remember vaguely one day as I was running, thinking to myself that I was ready for anything that was in store for me. I was feeling like I was starting to get my life back in order and was feeling back on top of my home and family. I wasn't meaning this. Although I had been feeling like this was going to happen someday, that feeling had intensified over the recent months. But, my babies were new, the current RS presidency had only been in since December of 2010, and Trent was put in as YM president that same month. And he LOVED his calling. And he was good at his calling. I felt safe. I was a little shocked when I was extended the calling Not surprised, just shocked. SO much so, the next day, I called trent and asked him if that had really happened. I had pictured it happening so many times, I wasn't sure if it had actually really happened.
I have now been set a part, and have been in for just over a week. The week after I was called, I was wondering if I could turn and run. I am finally starting to feel like my feet are under me. Hopefully in the next few weeks I can move from a walk to a run.
I keep trying to stand still in my life. I get stuck in my ruts, and I am comfortable in them. Then I am given something that makes me have to move forward. I can't be an effective RS President if I'm not reading my scriptures, praying, and doing things that put me in a good place. I had gotten myself into the habit of drinking soda. Something I never used to do, and I was finding it hard to concentrate. I need to be able to receive direction an think clearly. I'm sure my lack of sleep isn't helping, but caffeine definitely wasn't. And I'm hoping no soda will help with the last 20 lbs I have.
So here's to a new year with worthy obtainable goals. Meeting and exceeding those goals, and finding joy in serving.

You will do a great job. Before you know it you will be "running" and loving every minute of it :)
Wow RS president. You will do great and will have so much to offer those ladies. I love the title of the post :) We all feel that way at some point don't we. I love that H.F. gives you the promptings of changes coming also that is what I receive. Thank heavens he knows I am a planner :)
Word Verif: Sterav: a fancy new organic sugar derived from the stem of a ravenous imagination!....yes a little far fetched but every time I hear of a new "better" "healthier" organic sugar replacement it sounds like its from another planet!
Love the analogies. I agree that you'll be running soon.
But I bet you don't need a bigger plate. Heavenly Father knows exactly when yours is full.
