Like you, I just feel so overwhelmed with pain for the women I serve; everyone has something. Somtimes it's more than one something. I am so grateful for VTing and for inspiration, which I get more often than I deserve. Recently our Stake RSP said something I forget too often: our job isn't to solve people's problems. Our job is to bring them to Christ, and He will solve their problems." I love that, and am trying to remember it. Good luck in life after RSP; I hope to get there someday... but maybe not quite yet!Marylynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06567351972172822896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3626435726269756106.post-2129175568496800862011-05-25T19:23:43.351-06:002011-05-25T19:23:43.351-06:00Congrats on a job well done.

Well, at least I'm not laughing as in 'this was hilariously funny' like usual. Instead I'm laughing with happiness that you rose to the challenge, rose above your own doubts and did what you were called to do (and probably MUCH more). You rock!! I'm sure you blessed many lives along the way. And now... you'll have just that much more time to make me laugh regularly!!

(can you tell Ive been complaining/whinging alot lately about my present calling aaargh!) Made me smile the bit about worrying whether you could care about so many women, esp when you didnt know them. When I was RS Pres, that was my biggest fear. Im a 'socially challenged' hermit so the thought of being nice to so many people and making friends totally freaked me out. Two years later and 100 plus friends later...i guess its not that bad.Lani Wendt Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11919058977408366122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3626435726269756106.post-12787971003695435912011-05-25T11:38:07.317-06:002011-05-25T11:38:07.317-06:00I was called as YW Pres. almost the exact same tim...I was called as YW Pres. almost the exact same time you were called as RS Pres. I just wanted to chime in and say that I can thoroughly relate to the thoughts you express here, and to also say thanks for helping me understand the way I felt when I was released. There were about 42 million times during my time in YW when I wanted nothing more than to be released. Once I came to the realization that I was ultimately honoring Him though, I stopped all the crazy wishing. Wouldn't you know it... about the time I figured things out, I got the boot. <br /><br />Thanks for your post! It was lovely. I'm excited to see what's next for you!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05799206060075072991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3626435726269756106.post-39132889221455669482011-05-25T10:56:28.320-06:002011-05-25T10:56:28.320-06:00What a sweet post. those big callings scare me!

I've been in primary for the past 8 years so I know what I'm doing, but trying to serve children you don't know (I don't even know their names!) is harder than I thought.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11015713105597907545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3626435726269756106.post-56478135228705345122011-05-25T10:35:57.076-06:002011-05-25T10:35:57.076-06:00Wonderful post!
