New Calling

I have a new calling. I'm the primary pianist. I'm not really sure how I feel about it. It's a really easy calling for me--almost boring. But...I have a hard time being in the primary room with my own children (and my school students of which there are a few) and not getting bothered with their behavior. I think I may be there simply because I can do it. So...I play the organ during sacrament meeting and then go behind the piano in primary. I'll never see anyone again. But then as I think about it, I think I may be there for another purpose.

Chris couldn't figure out why I needed to be set apart for this particular calling. The actual "playing of the piano" part is a no-brainer, hardly-even-have-to-be-paying-attention type. And maybe this is what I need right now. I don't need anything that is too labor intensive. There's enough going on here at the house that maybe Someone knows that I'm not as strong as I pretend to be. I don't know. I'm feeling a little bit "blah" about it all. Richard asked me about my blessing today and I honestly couldn't remember much at all when it came to the blessings of the calling. So, I'm going to go with the idea that I'm there for the express purpose of helping someone else--and that is a great reason to be there. And yes...I'll be going to choir. (That was for you, Suz.) ;-)

You just may be there exclusively for me...I'll need someone to keep me sane.... :-)

This is my husband's dream calling. He begs for it everytime there is an opening! I am sure you will do great!

Make sure you go to any Enrichments that you can. And during your break between jr and sr primary (if you get one) walk around the building just to say hi to people! I have time between "sessions" and I go to the opening exercises of RS. It makes me feel so much better! Also, can they move the piano to the front of the room? I would hate not being able to see the kids faces. Good luck Stacy!
