Called To Serve


So, General Conference was this last weekend (Easter!) and during the Sunday afternoon session, I felt like I needed to write down all the goals that I had for me and my family. At the time, I paid no attention to what I was writing down, but later, I noticed that almost everything on that list had to do with service.
My work revolves so much on the needs of other people, and making them feel important and loved. I mainly work with the elderly and middle aged people, and college students on the weekends, but I don't get to work with kids that often. For the last week, the thought of wanting to help kids...even just one, won't leave my head. So, today I got online and looked up "Big Brothers Big Sisters" and sent them an email to see how I could help. Getting the response back from the director was thrilling! Once I finally move out there, I can make a difference, spending quality time with a single child, and help her know that she is loved :) I couldn't be more excited! I obviously don't have kids of my own, but seeing how parents these days just let their kids run wild and not spend time with them kills me. Hopefully I can get Kevin involved too! He's going to be such a great father, and I think he will be such a good influence for a little boy somewhere! Well, just thought I'd write a little something today! 25 days til the big move and 121 days til the wedding! Can't wait!! xoxox
