Released!!

I know that I have done three separate posts on the same day, but life as usual is crazy and I haven't had much time. I didn't realize how having three kids makes such a difference. In some ways it is not that different and in others it is very different! Well as some of you know, I have been the Relief Society president for the past two years and a counselor for a year and a half before that. I loved serving and working with the sisters and the bishop, but in the last could of months, it was really stressing me out. We have a lot of young families with lots of babies and needs and at times I felt as though I couldn't keep up with it all, plus all of the other responsibilities as a mom, etc. I finlly let the bishop know how I was feeling, I told him I still wanted to serve, but he felt strongly that I needed to take care of my family and that I could serve in other ways. I have bitter-sweet feelings about being released, but a lot of relief at the same time.(no pun intended!)After hearing Elder Ballards talk at conference about mothers, I know that this was the right thing for my family and me.
