The first of many....

Here's a little secret....today I had my first little overwhelming moment hit me that I'm getting married! I'm sure this will be the first of many to come...after 27 years I'm taking that step, and moving along in my life with a wonderful man, and as much as I am stoked and over-joyed I can also become a bit overwhelmed!! (Those who know me well are reading this nodding their heads in agreement!) Well over the years when I have been faced with trials or anxiety if you will I have learned to rely on the Lord very much. Today was one of those days!! I came home from work, ran to my room and just started to pray....it's the best thing I did all day :) I'm just so thankful that the Lord knows me and at this point he's probably up there just chucklin' at me a little thinkin' "Oh Kim...it get better!" (he knows that when little Jessi Kate says this I can't help by smile!)
Anyway, Mike knows me as well and sensed it was one of those days and just let me be me. It's one of the wonderful things I admire about Mike.
Ok sorry, I'm rambling a bit...
So to get to my point of this blog, I was inspired to review my lesson for YW for Sunday. I opened the manual and the lesson is on Unity in the Family. I'm very excited about this and it started to make me feel more calm. Then service kept entering my mind, and just tonight after coming home from my girls night watching Idol I opened up my e-mail and I had one from LDSNuggets and it was on SERVICE!!!! Now tell me the Lord had no part in that!
Here is the thought in the e-mail:

"Jesus said several times, “Come, follow me.” His was a program of “do what I do,” rather than “do what I say.” His innate brilliance would have permitted him to put on a dazzling display, but that would have left his followers far behind. He walked and worked with those he was to serve. His was not a long-distance leadership. He was not afraid of close friendships; he was not afraid that proximity to him would disappoint his followers. The leaven of true leadership cannot lift others unless we are with and serve those to be led."

--Spencer W. Kimball, "Jesus: The Perfect Leader", Ensign, Aug. 1979, 5

I'm sorry if tonight's post wasn't too exciting, maybe it was just a place for me to leave me thoughts tonight. I'm just so thankful that I have learned to have faith in our Lord and Savior. He knows us all, and I will forever be thankful for that.

Sleep well my friends!
