New Calling

In our church, we all take turns having responsibilities. Well, when we moved here I got called pretty quick to be the primary chorister (kids music leader )- something I had zero experience in. When they put me in I had about a month until our primary program so that was quite a shocker. I made it through the program and then we had two months of holiday craziness. So when January rolled around and we had new guidelines, a new counselor that was super helpful with ideas for music, and new songs I was determined to get prepared for the year.  
     Of course, as soon as I start to feel more confident and comfortable in my calling they decide to put me somewhere else. As some background they split our ward about three weeks ago and we lost about 300 people (yes, our ward was HUGE). Along with the cut we lost many of our pianists. So yes, that is where they called me- Primary Pianist. ( side-note I thought they were going to call me to play in sacrament meeting and that almost gave me a panic attack). They released me two weeks ago but they didn't have a new chorister yet so I continued to be the chorister. Yesterday was my last day. 
      I have mixed emotions about the whole thing. I sure love those primary kids and their sweet spirits when they sing. I think once the baby comes (which by the way I'm in my third trimester crazy!) this calling will be much more manageable. I was a little stressed since basically the last two hours of church is spent doing opening exercises, junior singing time, nursery singing time, and then senior singing time. Jeff teaches the last hour too so not sure what we were going to do with the baby. At least with pianist duties I have a few short breaks where I could feed the baby if needed. 
     Can you tell by my novel that change gives me a little anxiety? haha I'm in the same organization doing basically the same thing and it's messing my groove up. :) I will be fine, just needed to share.
