Bitter Sweet Changes
2 years ago on Christmas Eve I moved to Las Vegas. 3 weeks later I started attending the North Star Singles Ward. 3-4 weeks after that I was called to the Special Events Activities Commitee. 8 months ago I was called as the Special Events Commitee Chair. Next week I am being released...I figure I can blog this cause hardly anyone knows about my blog and those that do aren't even a part of my ward anymore. I had just had a planning meeting and planned both sports and ward activities for the next 5 months and was totally excited about all of the activites. Then came Bro. Brimhall to let me know I was being released. He asked me how I felt and quite frankly at the time I had no words because I didn't know how I felt. I have been in that calling practically since I moved into the ward. As the day went on it started sinking in. This weekend is my final activity in North Star...that I'm in charge of and or majorly involved with. I'm sad because although this calling can be EXTREMELY stressfull at times, I enjoy it. Its fun for me...I mean yes I wish at times I could relax and enjoy the activities more but I have enjoyed putting things together and watching people have fun. Now I'm done and its kind of sad. On the other hand I'm relieved for all the reasons I'm sad. Now I can go and just enjoy the activities instead of worrying if everyone is having fun, is everything running smoothly, et cetera. I don't have the stress of making sure everything doesn't fall apart thus letting down 50-100 plus people. It will definitely be less stress!...for now...I was told I'm being given a break but I am still needed in the ward and something else is coming soon...not knowing what exactly that entails is a little scary I'm not going to lie. All in all I just have some major mixed emotions...its definitely bitter sweet.

ReplyDeleteWoo Hoo Jen!!!!
How exciting for you... Although I was just thinking .... I made it a year and Half and you only 8 months. Wow they must have the perfect calling for you... RS president. You best be letting us know your new calling when it happens.
ReplyDeleteOh and when I got released it was bitter sweet, the hard part is when you don't go to activities even though you know you should because you hate it when no one showed up. and then there is when you are at activities that aren't fun and you are thinking to yourself what were they thinking... Yes I have been there too.
I DON'T THINK SO!!! AT LEAST I HOPE NOT!!! I DON'T HAVE THE TIME THAT THAT CALLING WOULD NEED!!!
ReplyDeleteTechnically I was in there for 2 years...second to the head of everything for 16 months and head of everything for 8 months.
