Changes . . .

One thing is constant in the Church I think and that is change - most certainly not in doctrine or principles but in leadership, callings, stewardship and responsibilities. With recent calling changes in the ward it has necessitated some change in the Preparedness Committee. I'll admit it right now and own it outright, I hate change. Hate it. I don't deal well with changing things up especially when something IS working. It throws me off kilter. And frankly, throws me into a tailspin. Yes, a tailspin. It's never pretty. :)


I have, however, learned (perhaps slowly at times) that change is good. It gently pushes us, no, scratch that, it shoves us out of our comfort zones and allows growth and progression. Never easy, but always worth it. I am optimistic and excited about the upcoming changes in preparedness. I hope you will be too. It's clear our work isn't finished and we have so many more avenues to explore, classes to organize and group orders to offer. What has been abundantly clear to me the last several weeks amongst all the change, and even in a tailspin, is that the Lord is in charge and he is very mindful about Lindsay Ward preparedness. Although a very stressful last few weeks for me, I have been constantly amazed at the whisperings of the spirit and how apparent the Lord's hand has been in all the change. For that I am undoubtedly grateful. Tailspin over, peace regained, it is time to move forward with optimism, faith and a renewed energy to keep going! So here's to change, faith, growth and getting prepared. Can't wait to share with you what's coming up next!


In the meantime, don't forget about our October 25th Meals in a Jar class. It will be an evening class and if for some reason you can't make it but would still like some jars, let me know. I will give you the recipes. Also, stay updated on fruit orders, upcoming classes, etc. by reading the monthly newsletter I put together. They are in the foyers the first Sunday every month and then every Sunday after that until the next edition. And to you faithful readers - THANK YOU! And to all those who have made it a point to share kind words and positive comments with the committee, THANK YOU for your support, attendance and kindness. It's always nice to have a pat on the head when you are working hard . . .
