Life feels a little crazy these past few weeks. I like my life simple. I don't like too many projects, in fact I don't like projects at all. Then I just feel pressure to get them done, and I prefer things to be done. The girls had colds or something so the past couple of nights I've been up every hour. The body and mind can only take that for so long! The new calling as Primary Chorister has really thrown me. You really have to be an actor/entertainer for those kids. I do Jr., then nursery and end with Sr. and there is so many new songs they have to learn. I'm up there most weeks signing solos. If you know me, that is NOT me. This whole calling is so beyond what I think my capabilities are. But, alas, I will do it, and it will come easier, and maybe one day I'll love it (at least that's what everyone says will happen). Since I'm doing visiting teaching correctly, (I have a diligent partner) I feel like a social butterfly. Alas another thing I am not. Thank goodness for Tony, if I didn't have him I honestly would fall apart. My word "breathe" has come into play more than I could have imagined.
the expression Hadley has is a little of how I feel

Hey Meg we all seem to be running out of steam! If it's any help Abby talks about her "singing teacher" all the time and walks around the house singing the primary songs. I especially love to hear her sing as she sits on the toilet. the music they learn in primary really sticks with um! check out www.sugardoodle.net, they have fun ideas for all different callings in church. Maybe you can find some easy printouts to make teaching the songs easier. If you need help we could come play and help you do posters. Abby would love to play with Hads again. Keep up the fight! My tired self is right there with ya, love ya! J
I am proud of you Meg... way to branch out!!
I guess you just have to think of it as a growing experience. Talk to your sisters and you may find that they are all experiencing the same kinds of stressors.
"It won't be like this for long" - this country song (yes Tony I LOVE country music, sorry!) popped in my mind when I read this post. It's true you will cycle out of this stage (likely right when you get the hang of things)! I know how you are feeling with the singing - I literally threw up for weeks after I was called (I can not hit a note to save my life and am painfully aware of it) and it turned out to be one of the best experiences of my life. It allowed me to feel the spirit so quickly and powerfully frequently (adn yes it is really hard to feel the Spirit when you feel like you are the entertainment comittee in junior primary)! hang in there - love Aunt Brandi
Oh Megan, I feel your pain! I think being the chorister would have to be one of the most difficult jobs in the primary! I teach the CTR 7 class and that's stresses me out enough!
Primary Chorister is huge, but hopefully so are the blessings! (I wouldn't know, the children would run screaming once they heard me try and sing!) You continue to amaze me, Megan!
