EVERY JOB (OR WE SAY “CALLING”) IN MY CHURCH IS ON A VOLUNTEER BASIS, & LASTS AS LONG AS GOD WANTS U THERE. 4 AWHILE NOW, I HAVE TAUGHT THE TEENAGE GIRLS, BUT I WAS RECENTLY “RELEASED” FROM THAT CALLING—I WAS SOOO UPSET! I LOVED TEACHING THE GIRLS, CUZ I FELT CONFORTABLE & ACCEPTED THERE, & IT ALLOWED ME 2 GROW SPIRITUALLY & MENTALLY. (BESIDES, IT DIDN’T SEEM POSSIBLE THAT “SOME1 LIKE ME”: WHO CAN’T TALK & BARELY MOVES, COULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT! LOL)

SOMETIMES IT IS SO HARD 2 GO, BUT THE LORD KNOWS WHAT IS BEST 4 US, SO WE NEED 2 HAVE FAITH IN HIS PLAN 4 US, & WE’LL GROW IN WAYS WE DIDN’T KNOW WAS POSSIBLE! (I FIND THAT TRUE WITH ANY CHANGE IN MY LIFE, & U’D THINK BY NOW– AFTER SUFFERING A STROKE THAT TURNED OUR WORLD UPSIDE-DOWN, I TOLERATED CHANGE BETTER, BUT I DON’T!)

I RECEIVED A NEW “CALLING” AS COMPASSIONATE SERVICE LEADER, WHERE I HELP COORDINATE THE OTHER WOMAN AS THEY TRY TO SERVE ONE ANOTHER (HELPING WITH MEALS, DRIVING PEOPLE PLACES, VISITING PEOPLE, BABYSITTING AS A FRIEND MOVES, ETC.) SO, I HAVEN’T REALLY POSTED SINCE GETTING THIS NEW CALLING, BECUZ I’VE BEEN SUPER BUSY SENDING LOTS OF EMAILS, & ORGANIZING A LOT RIGHT NOW.

WEEKENDS, THE PROPHET & APOSTLES SPEAK TO US) THERE ARE 4 SESSIONS–10-12 MDT & 2-4 MDT SAT. & SUN., EACH FILLED W 10-15 MIN. TALKS.
