Yikes!!!!

My world has been rocked! - BIG TIME!!! Our bishop called Saturday and said he would like to come over in the afternoon and talk me. Ok, those of you who are LDS know that the bishop only comes over to your house to talk to you if he is going to give you something big, so I worried and stewed and stewed and worried all day. I felt robbed of my thinking that we were in a ward that didn't need US because their are so many capable and willing people in our ward. Then I thought, well, I've been a counselor before and I'm good at following directions, so... no biggy. I had decided I was ok with that. When the bishop asked me to be the new Relief Society president I about fell off my chair!!!! I actually asked him if he was kidding and said, "You meant to say counselor, right?" He assured me that no, he really meant what he said. Is he crazy????? I never thought in a million years that I would ever be asked to be the relief society president. I don't like to be the leader! I would much rather be given an assignment than be the one doling them out. I know there are so many women in our ward who are more capable and qualified... I'm still baffled and in shock actually. BUT, I also have faith that the Lord called me and that there is a work for me to do. I'm scared spitless, but I'm willing to do what the Lord wants me to do and I hope I can be the kind of RS president that the women in my ward need. I pray with all my heart that I'll be able to do it. I know with the Lord anything is possible and I'm hanging onto that promise for dear life! Aaaah! I am excited to get to know the ladies in my ward better and to be able to attend RS again, eventhough I will miss my little primary class. I know the Lord has a plan for me and for our RS and 'I'll go where you want me to go, dear Lord!' Please pray for me.
