Two Sundays ago, I was released from my young women calling. I was already on an emotional roller coaster while planning Emmie's funeral and this did not make things much better! I loved my calling and will miss my mia maids sooo much! When I was released, I shed some serious tears and had the feelings... like I had been fired! Who knows why? But I did for a short time. I do know that there is a season and a time for everything and my time was up and now it is Scott's time to serve with the young men. Change is good, but sometimes hard for me at first.
“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven” (Eccl. 3:1).
My sweet mia maids dropped by on Wednesday night (during mutual), with a cookie boutique and cute card, with their good bye wishes. As soon as they left, I cried again. I will miss them so much and all the leaders as well.
I had such a great time with Taylor at girls camp and am so grateful I was able to be with her for the past two years.
(I still need to post the many pictures I took while we were there)
As for my new calling, I believe the official name is music coordinator. I am in charge of coordinating when the choir sings, picking the congregational hymns and having two musical numbers a month. So, if you are musically talented and in my ward... start practicing, because I need your help. I am in charge of finding the hidden talent! It sounds like a pretty low maintenance church job to me and I like that. Especially, for this season!

The girls will miss you! You were a great leader! I think Scott will also be amazing in young men's. We all take our turns right!! You give it your all in any calling! Now your ward will be blessed with amazing music every Sunday!
Its always so bittersweet to be released from YW. I remember feeling the same way you did, like I just got fired...but knowing there is a time and a season always helped me understand a little better. I'm sure the girls are going to miss you so much, now on to another journey .....music ? I could never do that calling, Haleigh got called to lead music in RS and I told her I'd rather stand in front of the ward naked than do that job.... ha ha ...... it's scary to stand in front of everyone
Tracey, we (the YW) just sang in church a song that was part of your theme for girls camp. Maybe you could ask your YW pres. to start putting together a song that they could sing. It was beautiful.
