Mama Chilhowee

I've recently become the "mother" of my ward.  It's a lot to take in considering I can hardly mother my own four children how could I possible manage a full congregation!? 
When the Stake President asked me what I thought the roles of the mother of the ward were I pretty much rambled nothingness and stuttered throughout the process.  Why I actually had never even thought about the role I would play.  No pressure!
It's been a month now since Jarom was called as the Bishop and I've already seen the change in our lives.  Our minds and hearts have been opened to a new light.  I have been seriously humbled.  I have been greatly blessed.
Some say, "congratulations" others say, "good riddance" I just say, "it's another calling."  One that I pray can be a good and faithful servant in and support my husband where he needs it most.

Wow! Its hard. Seth got called into the bishopric two weeks before I gave birth to our second child. It is humbling. I feel that Heavenly Father looks out for us "church widows"
