New Ministering w/youth

[Calm]

Tacenda, so do you still think the Church is trying to leave you out in hopes of you going away?

ETA: My RS pres. texted back. She was surprised I hadn't been contacted. Apparently I have a partner and I have three ladies that I was supposed to be ministering to.🙄

Seems normal. 😆

I keep thinking it's because I came out to the bishop. I believe the church really wants to leave people like me out, and hope we go away. But I will text the RS president and see what she says. If that doesn't pan out, I'm going church shopping, or am looking into volunteering in the community some more. ETA: My RS pres. texted back. She was surprised I hadn't been contacted.

When humans get together things fall through the cracks. My business partner's wife set the best example I have ever seen when it came to never taking anything personally. She just never let the actions or inactions of others affect her.  I tried to learn from her, but I have never come close to how she interacted and responded to people.  She was blind to their actions and always seem to choose the reflect the Savior in all that she did.

I am glad the RS president responded and it does not surprise me that this was one of those things that just had fallen through the cracks.  I think it is further evidence that our perceptions of others are often wholly inaccurate. The problem is that we use our inaccurate perceptions to make judgments about things that are not based on reality - just what is in our head.  Don't you think that is weird?

Regardless, you will do a great job now that you have a little direction.

Lastly, you are in control of your actions and your actions only. Ignore the actions of others (or their inactions) and chose to act like the Savior.  Reinhold Niebuhr's Serenity prayer is worth a review.
