"you're not Superwoman"

 I love my calling, I find such joy in being around my young women & I've found a true desire to SERVE. Nothing makes me more happier than knowing I'm doing my part in fulfilling a calling from my Heavenly Father. The past few months I find myself taking on my calling & other people's responsibilities too. I take my calling seriously & when I notice others not doing their part it really annoys me. I love my girls & I strive to impact their lives in a positive way, I don't let them see my frustration. I know that everyone has their own personal lives & families but so do I. I feel like being a devoted leader will inspire these girls to become worthy leaders some day. I was lucky to have wonderful, hardworking leaders during my days in Young Women & I'm grateful for all their teachings that have helped me today in serving my own girls. I feel so overwhelmed sometimes but I keep it to myself, I hate confrontation & to prevent any drama I take on more than I can handle. Recently, it has taken its toll & I broke down to Jr telling him my feelings on everything that's been going on. He knew something was going on with me but didn't know what it was. He then comforted me with some encouraging words then added, "but Babe you have to remember you're not Superwoman." It hit me that maybe I have been trying too much, I just don't want to disappoint these young girls who look up to me. That's just the type of person I am, you give me something to do, I go above & beyond to make it happen. I just have alot of Praying to do. :(
