What did You Say?

These are all part of conversations I had today. Each time a voice in my head said, "What did you say?". I needed time to process. Here's the context for each.

"Will you let us combine with you?"

Sounds simple enough, right? I was being asked (by the Ward Young Women President) if I would teach all of the Young Women (and leaders) because one teacher didn't come and the other forgot. So, instead of three separate classes - we all combined today. I did a little adjusting and we were off and running. Ironic how the time I put the least amount of effort into a lesson - it's the time I get to teach a room full of people instead of just a handful. It went fine - it was actually kind of fun. We have a great group. They all participated today! Wow! That's big!

"You are so organized!"

This came from a charming Beehive girl I get to serve with this year. I have been told this before. But, I always have to do a double take because I don't consider myself an organized person. (If you've ever seen our house, you know.) In fact, I just remembered a time when a kind soul commented about how organized I was and both my husband and I laughed...out loud. The memory comes from a time we had a little gathering that was organized at the last minute and we just happened to be at our house. The gal today thought it was so fun that I 'always' had everything I needed for my lesson in my bag. (It's a Ghana original - thanks Mom/Dad.) She notices things like that because she tends to forget and is working hard to remember the items she needs to have with her. I guess in some ways I'm capable of being organized or organizing an event - but, ask me to organize the things in my home and keep them that way...that's a little out of my league right now. Although, I'm doing better.
