Stepping Blindly with Faith

So, I was watching a Mormon Messages video by nienie and she has inspired me to try to write my blog with more spiritual things by praying and writing what the Lord tells me to. Stephanie Nielson is her name and her story is amazing.

Even as I try to write, Dayvon is sitting on my lap trying to stick his fingers in my mouth. Every time he succeeds, he giggles and hugs me. I love times like these.... So, I have been called to teach the Sunbeams at Church (one of my least favorite callings). I got set apart last night and I always seem to cry when being set apart. I love hearing what my Father in Heaven would like to say to me. I have no clue what to do in this calling. It is completely out of my comfort zone. My first Sunday I sat in and watched the other Sunbeam teacher (she is amazing. So good with the kids and creative and patient). I hope I can be as good a teacher as she is.

I have always said that I would never turn down a calling. So, I accepted this and cried almost as soon as I left. Within a day or two, I was okay. I didn't dread it anymore and I look at it as a challenge and something for me to learn from. I am Stepping Blindly with Faith, not knowing how things will be or if I can even do it, but I know that the Lord will help me and that I can do anything with His help.

You will be awesome in Sunbeams. They are so energetic at least in our ward.

Hey Kalina! I just found your blog and decided to comment! When I've taught primary in the past, I've always bought the coloring page/craft book that goes along with the lesson manual from the bookstore. They are made by covenant publications. I used to post them for the other primary workers to use in my old ward: iteachprimary.blogspot.com (that's the older kids one, not the Sunbeams one). Good luck! I'm sure you'll love it!
