Globe First Ward's newest (and greenest) Relief Society President! I became official today, and I'm sure I won't shake the 'deer in the headlights' look for a while. I am overwhelmed and humbled, and the two things that are preventing me from running for the hills are: A) I know that the Lord knows I can do this, and B) I have an amazing presidency to help me. I am so excited to help the sisters in my ward, and I know I have my work cut out for me.
As I have transitioned through stages in my life, I have anticipated achieving that 'grown-up' feeling. I thought when I got married that I would feel grown-up. Um, no. Then when we bought a house, surely that was a qualification for being grown-up. Well, mostly I just felt like we were two kids playing house. So when I had kids of my own and I still didn't feel grown-up, (not like those other women who seemed so seasoned and experienced) I began to wonder if I would feel like a little girl pretending to know what I'm doing forever! Well, maybe being the Relief Society President (a calling that I thought had some kind of minimum age limit that I hadn't reached yet) will force me to grow up.
Or maybe not. Maybe I'll always feel like a little girl inside. And maybe that's not such a bad thing.

I know the feeling! Maybe we'll never feel all "grown up", but I just have to say that Globe firs ward is very lucky and blessed to have you as a relief society president! You will be great!
You are an amazing writer. You captivated feelings I've felt many times. Your Bishop was inspired for sure. My son is one lucky dog!
Love, Mom Fran
