Are you sure?

This past week I have felt that I was going to be released from Sunbeams, or at least some changes were going to happen dealing with my calling. I hated the thought and didn't want to pray about it or think about it. Today in Sharing Time Bro. King (a member of the Bishobric) pulled me out just for a moment and said that I was going to be released and asked if I would be willing to accept a new calling. Team leader for the 8 year old activity girls. I of course said yes. Emotional, but yes. Next Sunday will be my last one in Primary and my last Sunday teaching my cute Sunbeams. I returned to sit with my class and started to get teary eyed. Then as another teacher handed me my roll said that her and her husband would be taking my class. I lost it. Right there in the middle of singing time. I cried enough that the 2nd councelor in the primary presidency came over and asked if I was ok. I stuggled through the rest of Sharing Time trying to control myself. Realizing that I will no longer be among these sweet Spirits and listen to their simple testimonies and hear of the beautiful primary songs that I love so much.

Silly as it seems I thought of my previous week. No coloring. Did I cross the line? Was that uncalled for? Did I do something wrong? When I wasn't prepared to do sharing time a few weeks back, and I jokingly said that 'I'm fired' to the Primary President that she thought I was serious?Where they upset? I know that I have been in Sunbeams for almost 2 years. Bro. King said that this would give me a chance to go to Sunday School and Relief Society and that he knew I had been in Primary for a long time. But I honestly I don't want to leave. I love being in Primary. Yes, in the past 2 years I have thought that I should not be in Sunbeams and that I should be in Relief Society, but when it came right down to it, I knew that I was where I was suppose to be. I hope that I will take that thought with me as I go be an Activity Day leader. The Lord knows what's best. And I know that the men in the Bishopbric are inspired men and have felt like this is where I am suppose to be. I just pray that I will be comforted.
