A NEW CALLING
I have made a really hard decision this month in regards to my church calling. I have been the ward choir director for 2 years and have truly LOVED it! However, I changed my work schedule back in August to every Friday and Saturday night and making it to choir every Sunday morning at 8:30 has been murder for my body, family time, and sanity. Not to mention, I probably put in too much time during the week looking for music and studying music. I asked to be released 3 weeks ago, and it finally happened on Sunday. I have felt so much heart ache about giving up something I love so much but knew it needed to be done for my well being. Well, the Lord truly knows each of us and our needs and I have received a new calling from the stake the very day I was released. I have been called to be the Stake Chorister. It won't take up too much of my time, as it will just be for stake conference twice a year. I will also get to have the opportunity to help teach workshops to new choristers. I am so happy that I can keep my foot in a door after feeling like I had closed it on myself. I'm thankful that the Lord knows me and loves me enough to listen to me and fill my needs.

You are an awesome lady, Lo! Sometimes you gotta make those decisions and not feel bad about it. Love ya. Kim
I wish I was in your stake because I've just been called to be the ward chorister and I don't really know what I'm doing. I'm also in charge of getting the musical numbers for sacrament meeting. I don't know anyone willing to perform and they want two a month! Ahhh.
Congrats! I am sure you are a great director. We just split wards and are still trying to get our choir going.
LoLo. Thanks for sharing a sweet, simple story. Hope to talk with you guys soon. Jeff
You were so great in choir, and did so many good things as our leader. Thanks for sharing, and giving your time to us. Sorry that you cannot say the same for me, of giving my time. You are wonderful, and your new calling will be neat. Love ya.
