Personal Revelation

We had ward conference Sunday and as a result had the Stake YW leaders come in and teach our girls about personal revelation. I was so grateful for this lesson and that they were prompted to teach this.
When I was called to be the 1st councilor in the YW presidency in July I was so happy. A week or two later I had the impression that I would not work with our YW president for a long time. I was concerned as to why because she had been having some health issues. I also had felt the promptings that I this calling was preparatory to a future calling. I had a feeling that at some time I would be called as the YW pres of our ward. I was grateful for these promptings because when I was in Utah for my moms funeral I got a text from Celeste, our YW pres saying she had been called as 1st counselor in the Stake YW presidency. She was sad to leave her YW and her current calling. She said a new YW pres had not been called yet and that she thought it might be me. I knew at that point that it would be and the thoughts of counselors and such began to run through my mind.  I prayed many times while in utah to know whether or not this was going to be my calling and I had peace about it each time. As I returned home, no phone calls came from the Bishop. No "hey can I meet with you and your husband" etc...It wasn't until a week and a half ago that I got home from YW's and Kris said "oh, the Bishop called, he wants you to call him back" So I did and he asked if he could come meet with us.
At this point, I KNEW that the calling was coming. I was so excited and had many names going through my mind, some of the names were just the same name going through my mind over and over and over. Bishop did extend the calling to me and after asking him if he had any suggestions of who I could choose from he told me...you can have anyone except the Relief Society Pres. :D I was so happy because it confirmed a few names I had thought about.
This past Sunday (yesterday) I was sustained a the Young Women's Pres of the Hidden Lake Ward. My two counselors were called as well as a new Beehive advisor. I am so humbled and blessed to have strong women working with me. I am thrilled and am grateful for the mantle placed upon me as well and am excited to work with these beautiful, amazing girls. There are challenges and concerns and feelings of joy and appreciation for each of them. They will teach me so much. I hope that I can prepare myself each day to teach them, and to be prepared to listen to the spirit in their behalves. What a blessing.
I just wish my mom were still here so I could tell her about it. I think she would be pleased and excited. Let this new journey begin!
