What stood out to me this week

    Lately I've been having problems with some of my leaders. In the past I've always had AMAZING leaders, and I've kinda struggled with the ones I have now. But then I realized...

    Our Father in Heaven put us on this earth exactly where we are for a reason. The people we meet and know are here to help us in some way. We weren't put with them by chance. This brings to mind a song from one of my favorite Broadway shows.
   
     I've heard it said, that people come into our lives
     for a reason, bringing something we must learn.
    And we are led to those who help us most to grow
   if we let them, and we help them in return.

   That one line, "If we let them", really stands out to me. Maybe there is something I can learn from those leaders. Maybe I need to let them teach me, even if I don't get along with them all the time. Not only am I blessed to know them(Yes, I am going to say blessed), but also they were called into Young Women. That shows me that obviously, there is something the Lord wants me to learn from them. Of course in life we're not always going to have an instant connection with everyone we come across, but I think getting along with everyone is possible. With some people it just may take more work.
   I think it's a matter of being humble enough. We need to be humble enough to look past differences and love people for who they are. No one is the same. We're all going to have disagreements, but the problem is when a disagreements turns into contention. And we have to learn to do things in ways we're not used to. And having patience helps.
   It may take some time to really and truly get along with those leaders, but I know that with enough time, we could become just as close as I am with those "instant connection" leaders. :)
