MY CALLING CURSE

So it seems that for some reason I can't keep a calling any longer than five months. The past 4 callings have been like that. For the past five months I have been working with the primary as the Primary Chorister. It was a lot of fun and our recent primary program went great. I was just starting to figure out what I was doing when James came home telling me that the Bishop wanted to meet with me. They asked me to serve as 2nd counselor in the Relief Society. Can you say scary? I have not even been to Relief Society in over a year let alone have any idea how to run one. I have been a roller coaster of emotions since. When they first called me I was so scared and nervous. Then when I received a blessing for my calling I was blessed that I would be able to juggle all my responsibilities of home and church, I felt calm and that I would be able to do this. The for the last couple of days I have been antsy and ready to get started. That was up until I went to my first presidency meeting and Shirley told me about all the things that I need to do. Now again I have that feeling like, "How in the world will I be able to do all of this?" I really look forward to this new calling even though I am completely unsure of what I am supposed to do or even if I can do it right. Concerning my Calling Curse I was told to get comfortable in this calling becuase my curse has been broken.

"calling curse", think of it like you have learned what you needed from that calling so the Lord wants you to move on. I've been in the same calling for a while so I must need to do some learning. you'll be great in RS

Hey sis, i think you just have too much potential and everyone can see that. Like Heidi said you did a great job with your last calling and learned everything you needed to learn and now it's time to move forward. It took me years to move up from teaching the sunbeams to teaching the 8 year olds. I must still have a little bit of learning because I have a feeling I'll be here for a while. I love it though! Don't worry, you'll be great. Maybe next time it'll be RS President:)

I have no doubts you'll be awesome in that calling...i know how you feel though...i was recently called to serve as 2nd couns. in our primary after only being a primary teacher for 2 months...I have no experience in primary and no kids! i don't know what I'm doing!! But regardless, every day has been a learning experience ...and I'm grateful for the opportunity to grow.
