Change

For some reason for the last few weeks I've been hearing a song from my youth in my head that talks about change. Can't remember the name, but I know it was often played at our church youth dances. (I finally remembered, "Freebird." )

Last Sunday while studying and checking up on my friends in facebook, I heard the whisperings of the spirit tell me that there would be changes. Yes, I knew, Emily is getting married. Suzanne will be married in the spring. Scott, Russ and Chris are graduating this year...but no the spirit meant something else. At the end of our Sacrament meeting it was announced that we would be getting a new bishopric. Tears rolled down my cheeks at the thought of not having Bishop Lesko as our bishop any more. It has been his tender leadership that has helped me learn and grow so much more closer to my Heavenly Father. I still have such a long way to go. Dennis thought I was silly. He's not moving or dying, but still, he won't be bishop. Yes, he has answered so many of my questions, but I have so many more!

So change, it's part of life, but as I get older I need so much more help to make these transitions. I am so grateful for the gift of the Holy Ghost and the comfort it brings and the sweet confirming testimony that the Lord is guiding these changes.
