Serving in the Church

This past week has been a lot harder than I expected it to be.  I have been serving in the Young Woman's program for 6 years and I was getting kind of burnt out.  So it was no surprise to me that we were getting released.  What did surprise me was how empty I felt on Sunday as they released us.  I cried most of the day.  I guess it comes down to this.  You serve those girls for 6 years.  You pray for them, you plan things for them, you are with them on Sunday, Tuesday, and other special occasions.  Then suddenly you no longer get that association.  I really feel like I just lost 30+ daughters.  Those girls just become part of your life.  They will always be my girls, I just won't get to spend quite as much time with them.  However, I am extremely grateful for the love, kindness, and the examples they have shown me.  They are truly a light in my life.  Thank you to all those that I got to serve and those that I got to serve with.  You will forever be in my heart!!
