Never Say Never!

If only I would follow this advice! I have on occasion said "my kid would never", "or I would never", and slowly I am eating each one of these nevers. Well two weeks ago I had to swallow another one. Go back a few years and I was heard to have said "I would never want to serve in Relief Society, they do soooo much work and I don't think I would be able to handle it and remain sane at the same time." Skip ahead to two weeks ago and I heard the Bishop say "the Lord would have you serve as the next Relief Society President, will you accept this call." (yeah, I know my jaw hit the floor too) Many tears were shed and somewhere in all the blubbering I must have said yes because he told me to get him some names for my counselors and to be ready to be sustained in two weeks. Needless to say it has been an interesting two weeks and I have found a new level of crying. At the same time it has already been one of the choicest experiences of my life. I was set apart yesterday and I know that if I give it my all, I will be blessed with the help that I will need to fulfill the things the Lord would have me do. It is true "The Lord does not give us what we can handle, He helps us handle what we are given."
