A week of lessons

Why is the saying true, "When it rains, it pours?"  Anyone care to shed some light?  Things can be just fine, and then you hit a speed bump--rough, but you get through it, only to find yourself in front of 10 more.  That is so how this week has felt.  Want to hear how it started?

It all started on Monday when I was looking forward to having fhe with my family and going out to celebrate my brother's birthday.  That all had to be rushed though after the bishop called me and told me he wanted to see me at fhe so he could meet with me after.  All right, I will come.  After our fhe activity that I was completely unprepared for, he pulled me aside and asked if I would accept a calling.  I've always been taught to never turn down a calling because that calling was for you specifically.  Well, after he told me what he wanted me to do (which I will disclose later) I never debated longer and harder about saying no than right then.  Nonetheless, I accepted, but I feel extremely inadequate, and I'm scared out of my mind.  Pray for me.  Immediately following the calling, he gently reminded me that he wanted me to speak in a few weeks.  Bah...all at once!!  I love my bishop...but I want to cry.

Tuesday--other than my really long day at school and an upset friend...Tuesday and I got along.

Wednesday--I got locked out of the office at work.  Then later that night I went to institute and it was an amazing lesson!  I felt the spirit so strong!  My spirits spiraled downward rapidly though when I went to get in my car and noticed that someone backed in to me leaving a massive dent with no note.  This is when I really want to utter a string of profanities...(but didn't).  

Thursday--way too long of day.  But at the very end of the day at 12:05 am I realized that I forgot to turn in 3 assignments that I will get zero credit for now.  

I was hesitant to post this, because I don't want to be thought of as a complainer; however, tonight was the last straw, and writing about my feelings made me feel better.  I love life.  It's good to me most days.  I'm just excited for a new day.
