It Happened....

Whenever you move into a new ward you are bound to eventually get a calling, sooner or later... and it happened.

Ah!!!! I got called as the ward chorister. Yesterday was my first day. I was terrified! I know how to lead music but I've never really done it because I was always the one playing the piano.... for ward choir, for seminary, often times in Young Womens, in Relief Society and yes, I've also been the primary pianist. I think I've done every piano-playing calling there is. But I've never had a music-leading calling. 

But now I do.

And I'm scared. 

And I hate being up in front of that many people. 

And poor Rick has to handle two kids for the first 30 minutes of sacrament meeting all by himself until I can come sit in the congregation with him and the kids. 

And did I mention I am terrified?!?! 

But I know the Lord will help me be brave enough. He will help me. I know it. And I also know that He probably gave me this calling, instead of a piano calling, so that I could learn something new and grow in a way that I couldn't otherwise.

P.S. Yesterday the organist informed me that next week there are THREE missionary farewells (her son being one of them) next week and that it will probably be packed, just as a heads up. Oh boy. Wish me luck!
