Changes Abound

My husband is currently on the High Council and we've been asked to meet with the Stake Presidency today after church.

I've known for a week that the Lord has something in mind for us and He gave me a full week to prepare. I just didn't expect this.

As I've mentioned before, I started reading the Old Testament (and lessons) two weeks ago. I guess I needed that week to prepare to be prepared.

Satan's been working hard on us, too, for even longer than two weeks. We finally fought through it all and my husband and I had a wonderful discussion yesterday afternoon. I think we're more on the same page again. We needed to reconnect. The Lord's timing is perfect. We had to have that discussion before today, and we did.

I truly have a testimony of the Gospel and of my Stake President. He is such a humble, loving man, and I know he's been called of God to serve in his current capacity.

Change is always scary, and I'm not sure if I'm ready for what is to come, but whatever it is, I know without a doubt that it's the Lord's will. He's prepared me and I'm willing to accept whatever he has to set before us. I'll just keep a prayer in my heart.

Update: He was released. Releases are always hard, because they leave me feeling empty. There's an actual mantle that comes with a calling and I can always feel it when it comes and goes--even when it's my husband's calling (if it's a big one). Now we're just waiting to see what happens next.
