I really think every person in the ward needs a job before they start asking people to do multiple jobs. I have been in meetings where they had to pick people to do jobs and there was no prayer, not that much thought, just a "Oh, yeah, let's get them to do that," but I also know that the Lord blesses the one who accepts those callings anyway. I guess that's why I take them and why I take so many of the callings other people turn down.<br /> So this was really about me, huh?

I wish they'd have given me more than five minutes to think through the details, though. I asked if I could think about it and they pretty much told me they wanted an answer that night. If they'd have given me a chance to think it over, I would've probably said yes, but it seemed such an overwhelming chore at the time. I wish I was the type that would think "pick me, pick me", but I think "pick her, pick her" instead. lol j/k :)Lindsay Logichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15322922481927457241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1586463381137391843.post-82525654390442089572009-09-22T19:43:02.756-06:002009-09-22T19:43:02.756-06:00Its pretty sad that you have to put a disclaimer M...Its pretty sad that you have to put a disclaimer Mom. I have also not been shirking work. Stacy and I have 3 callings now. We recently got called to be on the Stake Youth Committee. We also do nursery twice a month now, instead of just once. And also scouts. And I've also been going on splits with the missionaries when they need it. I'm hoping the Lord will start blessing me because of all this. I'm waiting....anytime now...:) I'm just kidding. Thats just me being snarky.Bullet for Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10131351430518593054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1586463381137391843.post-64258173247204061822009-09-22T18:00:58.063-06:002009-09-22T18:00:58.063-06:00I have always adopted the stance within the church...I have always adopted the stance within the church that I would never turn down a calling. I learned a long time ago from a quote I heard, "The Lord qualifies those he calls." We may not think we can do a calling, but the Lord knows we can...with his help. I am currently subbing during the day, and working at night. I asked myself, WHY? How can I do this? However, I asked the Lord to help find work to support our family, and he did. If this is what I must do, so be it. I need to do my part, and show the. Lord that I am willing, along with being grateful for what I have. The Lord will bless us to do what we ask for in faith, and bless us to do that which he asks of us.Stickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17533155174637831890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1586463381137391843.post-13470499452734542472009-09-22T15:43:17.950-06:002009-09-22T15:43:17.950-06:00This post is about me, isn't it?
