I was set apart this evening for my new calling in my Single's Ward. (For those who don't know, a calling is like your job in the ward, and getting set apart means getting a special blessing for the calling.) I was called to be part of my Relief Society Meeting Committee. I thought that getting that calling was weird since I am only going to have it for two months, and the activities we plan are monthly activities. I didn't understand why they would need me to help plan two activities, one of which I probably won't even be able to attend. I thought it was silly, but I just decided to go along with it.
At FHE, I was pulled aside to get set apart. I had been set apart for other callings, and the blessings were always encouraging, but I had never gained a lot of spiritual insight from them. I was asked for my full name, and the blessing began. I knew from the moment he said "Kai Leigh Bowen" that this blessing was not his words, but the words of the Lord. The blessing was exactly what I needed, it gave me comfort, advice, and insight into my life that I had never had before. I was told that the Lord knows my struggles and everything I am going through. I was advised to read my scriptures daily and to pray morning and night so I can receive answers from the Lord. I was also told that I was very close to God in the pre-mortal life.
I have definitely been very thoughtful lately and have had a lot on my mind (a lot of it having to do with people...well, more like person...who have recently left on missions). This blessing brought me joy and comfort and excitement. I know that the Lord is on my side. He wants only what is best for me, and if I put my life into His hands, He will bless me beyond what I can ever hope for.
And that is what I plan to do. I do not need to worry about things (although, I'm sure I still will), because if I exercise my faith, and do all that I'm supposed to do, there is no way I can be unhappy.
Here's to a happy life!
