Jodi's hubby was just made their Stake President and she is feeling a little "pressure" with this call. I hope she just continues being her fun, "spunky", happy self. God loves her just the way she is and He is the one that matters. We worry so much about pleasing others. I guess that is just part of life and learning. I hated trying to "fit" the role image of a few callings. Each time though I just tried to remember that Heavenly Father knew me before I was called and I was good enough the way I was. I do believe we do change with callings...but I think it's more of an internal change that others might not really see unless they are super close to us. Heavenly Father gets us where he wants us on His time. He is who matters!
I loved hearing the details of the calling. I love how we can receive inspiration so quickly. I love how Heavenly Father prepares us for our next "steps". Heavenly Father is very aware of all of us and really does guide us...if we ask and listen and obey. I love Jodi! Jodi is a great example and I know that others admire and respect her. Jodi and her hubby will serve their Stake well!
***One thing that we had mentioned today was menopause...who would have ever thought we'd reach it or talk about it. A few years back I lost the little bit of waist I had. I had changed nothing but my body did. The pants I could wear for years didn't fit and it ticked me off...and I couldn't figure out why.....menopause is the reason. It happens...the body changes. I had never quite thought about it but I do believe that is it. I am determined to fix the changes and do the best with what I have to work with. My squatty body needs some adjustment. I know the results will be different than what I was use to but or would really want but I am learning to accept things for what they are. (my short waist is even shorter...at least 2 inches...I can still work with that)
