WELCOME!

As I am re-activating myself in the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-Day Saints, I wanted to share my thoughts, feelings, stumbles, developments and understandings.
I was born into the church, baptized at age 8 and went on to Young Womens, Relief Society and YSA (Young Single Adults).
And because of a few different reasons I let myself fall away from the Gospel. I got married outside the Temple and made decisions I'm not proud of.
But now I am starting a journey back... This blog is the beginning of my new story.

What is enough?

Some people manage to do their callings with so much enthusiasm, devotion and creativity! Those people are shining examples of going above and beyond expectation.

I want to be able to be like that, I do... But I think I put too much pressure on myself to do it.

I teach Primary, little kids. Specifically I have the kids turning 6 this year. There's a lot!
I guess because these kids are so impressionable, I'm worried.
Worried that I might say the wrong thing, neglect to say the right thing, etc. I mean you try to have fun with them and make it interesting for them but it's hard. How do you keep kids interested week in and week out?

I feel I'm putting more pressure on myself because one of the kids mum's are now my assistant. I really appreciate the help, I do, but I feel like I could cause problems if I say or do the wrong thing with her kid.

At the end of the day though, indeed to stop putting these pressures on myself, I need to stop worrying about perception and just do. Do my calling. As long as I am doing what I can with the Lord's help, that is enough.

  1. Those people who appear to do everything so creatively, with enthusiasm and devotion feel just as over whelmed as you do.
