On my mind...How Mindful He is...
Zion's camp has been on my mind the last few days. I'm from California and some big decisions were made this week... I have no doubt He was mindful of where all of this was going a year and a half ago as we spent weekend after weekend making phone call after phone call, door knock after door slam. He is mindful still.
Also on my mind. I was reminded of this tonight as I met a group at the church to run through a musical number. While we were practicing, members from the ward were busy cleaning away. Thanks, my friends, for this reminder.
Shortly after we were married, Ryan and I were called to be the building cleaning coordinators. We learned a lot from this experience. But one thing that impressed me the most about receiving this call was how aware our Heavenly Father is of every little detail of our lives. Let me explain.
While going to school, I had the opportunity to work at the Missionary Training Center for a few years. My task was to "train" (some needed more training than others in the cleaning category...let me tell ya!) and supervise the missionaries as they did their weekly cleaning service. By the way, working with missionaries tops my best jobs I've ever had list...even takes the cake over all the clowning around I did in high school and absolutely beats my time as a gas station attendant. :) Anyway...it was very similar to how we are now being asked to participate in cleaning our meetinghouses, only the missionaries were in charge of keeping up their classrooms.
Fast forward to that first day that Ryan and I, as new members of a new ward with this new calling, opened the custodial closet of our church building for the first time. There in the closet were the same cleaning solutions, vacuums, mops, rags... all of it was exactly the same equipment I became so familiar with while at the MTC... our bishop had no idea of my past experience... but our Heavenly Father did. He knew I could change one of those vacuum bags in a jiffy. Coincidence? Absolutely not. How mindful He is.
