Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes...

Recently there have been a few changes, and it almost feels like they are in preparation for a major shift in my life (here's hoping!)

Earlier this week, I found out that I got the full time position I was applying for at work.  Yay!!  This is going to be really good for Nick and I.  Before I was getting 32-35 hours a week.  Now, I'm guaranteed 40 hours everyweek, which also means my benefits will be a little less each paycheck, and with 10-16 more hours on each paycheck, I'll be able to put more into savings!  Or pay extra on my car, or buy my self a few much needed (okay, desperately needed) new things to wear to work, or join weight watchers.  What a blessing.

Then today, my role at Church changed.  For the past 3 years I have been teaching the seven-turning-eight-year-old Sunday School class.  I have absolutely loved every minute of it.  I found out last week that I was going to be released, and I went home and cried... and cried... and cried... I was a little sad.  Well my Bishop (the leader of our congregation) said he wanted to meet with me this morning before Church.  He told me that he wanted me to be the advisor to the Laurels (the 16-18 year old girls).  I was elated!  I told Nick that if I couldn't be in Primary (4-11 year old kids) that I wanted to be in Young Womens (12-18 year old girls).  I just had a feeling that that's exactly where I needed to be right now, and I've been feeling that way for about a month now.  Once 2010 was over and the class I had been teaching for 2 years moved on, I knew in my heart (it sounds hokey, but I mean it) that I wouldn't be serving in Primary for much longer.  For whatever reason, the Lord needs me in the Young Women's organization.  I am beyond excited for this new opportunity to serve.  I don't know any of the girls, but I am eager to get to know them.  This is a new adventure for me, and I'm ready for the change.

I've know I've said it before... 2011 holds big things and major changes in our lives.  I cannot wait to see what else the Lord has in store for me as the year unfolds.
