Being a Service To Others

I have never been the type to voluntarily be the first to offer my services to others when asked/needed. I would be the one waiting last minute, thinking and debating wether I want to do it or not in my head for as long as I can.

Tonight I was asked with my friend Brittany to give a little "fashion" class to some young women in two of the family wards in the Newport Beach Stake. We said yes. Funny thing is, Brittany and I know how to dress ourselves and enjoy wearing fashionable clothing but by no means are we fashion experts. She is an interior designer, and I am attending school to become an interior designer.

After plenty of freaking out from the two of us, we headed off to teach our class. In my mind I was dreading it, because I don't like to tell people how to dress... I just know what I like and I wear it. What I'm trying to say is, I know how to dress me.

The night began with a member of the relief society presidency speaking about modesty. Absolutely loved what she had to say. The talks she picked were perfect for the message she was trying to get across and the spirit was there. Then the time was turned to us, amateurs to fashion. I believed it went well, at least I felt good about how we did.

The point of this post is me expressing that even though I am not the most confident in putting myself out there for services within the church, I am going to do it anyways. I know the Lord is by my side and we are asked to be a service to others. By making this decision and I have done things I don't think I've ever believed I would do... and I'm grateful for that decision because it has helped me grow and become more comfortable with being a service to others. I am grateful for the challenges in my life that make me a better me.
