So last night was Enrichment, it was my first one. I can say this about the experience --it was eye opening. First off, I actually enjoyed it. I didn't know that I would. I learned a few key things last night that I really need to work hard on keeping at the forefront of my mind here on out. I learned that I cannot ask what needs to be done. I am the one in charge I've got to be the one making sure things get done. Secondly, I found how easy it is going to be to serve with these women on my committee.
Next time I will have had more involvement in the preparations and won't feel so awkward...so I hope. The other thing I learned is that I belong there. I realized I've never ever attended Enrichment before because subconsciously I didn't think I was worthy to be there. It sounds so lame to say that but taken my history into account, I was simply unsure of myself. But last night as I sat there listening to the lessons these ladies were giving I found I'm not too far off base and that I'm already doing a lot of what I should and that yes, I do belong there. I've made my way back from a deep dark ditch, but I am no longer that person nor am I still in that deep dark ditch.
So today, instead of being nervous or scared I am anxious and ready to take on my challenge.

I'm so excited for you!
Yes, you definitely deserve to be there. And, yes, you'll be wonderful once you get your sea legs.
I love it when people are excited about their callings. Go, you!
I hope I will be easy to serve with and help you feel more comfortable. I'm glad you enjoyed the evening and realized that you like enrichment :) I enjoyed our brief talk as we cleaned up chairs.
If you find someone without sin at enrichment...
...they're lying. :)
I'm glad it was a good experience for you. Like I said, I LOVE Relief Society.
Awwww Lizzie, I've seen what you've been through, so this is a nice to hear that you are doing something like this. Congratulations!
Yay for you! You're going to kick butt in there! My next piece of advice is that alot of people will want to give you advice, etc. but you need to REMEMBER...It is YOU that was set apart for the calling (not them) and it is YOU that will receive personal revelation on what needs to happen, etc. As long as you communicated with the Lord over all your concerns & hopes for the sisters you will serve; He will guide you in your thoughts & actions in a very powerful way. It is through these experiences that help you to always remember that HE LIVES!
