A couple months ago, i was called to teach the 5 year olds in our ward. At first i thought...
wooo! no more sunday school...
I love music time!
I love being with little kids!
After a few weeks, my thoughts changed. I started to think.. WOW this is way harder than i had imagined. These kids never stop talking, and they get so easily side tracked. I got down on my knees are prayed to God that i would be able to teach them something and that I would be able to not get frustrated.... That is when i realized, i was not called for them. I was put in this calling for myself. I have learned so so much from these beautiful souls.
This past week we have been working on our Primary Program!! I was sitting there with my class & we started to sing If the Savior stood beside me- this has always been one of my all time favorite Primary Songs. As i looked around the primary room at all of the children, it brought tears to my eyes. Hearing their innocent sweet voices sing the words of this song... i truly felt so close to God. These kids have taught me how to love unconditionally and how to forgive so easily. They have taught me to relax and to always turn to Jesus and Heavenly Father when we need him. I know that God lives and that He loves me so so much, and that he will always make things work out for the best.
I always remind myself that God has a plan, and EVERYTHING ALWAYS WORKS OUT. I feel so blessed to be married to my Husband Chase. He keeps me on track, and helps me remember that God always has a plan, and HIS plan is THEE best plan. I am truly such a lucky girl & can't wait for the little babe to meet their Dad.
I feel very blessed!
I am very blessed!
oh... & i promise to blog this weekend about the sweet baby!
Thank you for sharing Liv! I have had similar experiences with teaching my 13 yr olds! :)
