So as you might already know, I had received a calling in my ward last week, to be the 2nd counselor of the Young Woman's. I was shocked, because I had not attended church as much I know I should have. Then there was this feeling of fear, I thought for sure these young woman know more then me, I mean I usually go for sacrament and then I leave. Sad I know, but I thought, hey at least I went!!LOL!! So I realized that in order for me to show my kids that church was very important, then we would have to start staying for the whole thing!! My kids are still trying to adapt to it, but I'm sure they will get use to it.
Any who not to long after I had received my calling I had been overwhelmed with stress that caused me to not be myself. I found myself with doubts and questions. Then I started reading on the Internet of when people thought the world would end and this is where I found myself trying to prevent death from getting my kids and I by keeping them in the house with me all day. I know it sounds crazy but I was losing it and I didnt understand why all this was happening. I was also on my husbands case about getting sealed to the kids and I NOW. He agreed that we need to be sealed and that it to is important to him,but the timing is not right. That he is working on it but on his own pace. I was furious with him for that. After all that stress I was having I remember thinking to myself that I couldn't handle the pain and fear I had been carrying for the last few days. So I called my stake president over for a blessing in hopes that it would provide me with the strength I needed to deal with these issues. Once the blessing was over I felt a sense of relief come over me and I knew that the power of the priesthood did excist and that I had to have faith. He assured me that everything would work it self out and that even if something where to happen now, to one of us, to remember that the Lord is fare and that we will still be able to be sealed in the next life. I still had my fears, I mean who doesn't!!?! But I didn't obsessed about it as much!!LOL!! I am so grateful to him for coming by and helping me out with this. My sister in law told me it could possibly be the devil trying to distract me with worldly things and keep me from what blessing are in store for me and I think that it is so true. so it all came down to how strong my faith is and how much stronger it will grow to be, so I'm kind of looking forward to gaining a testimony of my own. I was just so stressed out about everything from work, down to being spiritually prepared and I didn't think anyone could relate to me, but I was wrong!!I know that through the atonement, I will be able to forgive as well as be forgiven. So I wanted to end this post with a LDS message:

K.. so I was totally teary eyed reading this. The post was so sweet.. I kinda felt the same feelings you felt when I got called into the Young Women's PResidency! I swear Satan works in mysterious ways. CONGRATS on your new calling though. You'll be AWESOME!

That was beautiful Klarah. Its so true that it is the devil who is working EXTRA hard on YOU!! I remember when Sol and I were getting ready to go through the temple. It was the hardest most trying time in our lives. But remember that the Lords blessings are GREATER and more eternal than anything the devil tries to offer you. You are on the right track and I'm so proud of you for your humility and honesty you share through your blog. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Thank you Lala for sharing that! You are a great testimony that relying on the Lord is the only way that peace can come into our lives. Everything will work out for the better when we are doing our best in living the gospel!!
