so, back in june i was called to be the ward primary chorister. i knew i was going to be called to this through much prayer on my part. not only did i want to do this again, but i needed a change as i was the 12-13yr old sunday school teacher for 2.5 yrs. fun, but over it! i just want to share my random thoughts as i am preparing my music for this next sunday. the song we are learning is "i know that my savior loves me" and it is from the friend. i love original music as the primary childrens songbook is pretty outdated to me. i am always looking for fun, spiritual music to teach these kids. i am quite the emotional primary leader...lol. maybe just an emotional person in general, but music does something to me. i just get it. the message that is. i understand things so much clearer through music. i always feel a spirit about good music. christian, lds, pop. as long as it has a great message....i love it. ok...back to my thoughts.
the song says..i did not touch him or sit on his knee, yet JESUS is real to me. i know he lives, i will follow faithfully, my heart i give to him. I KNOW THAT MY SAVIOR LOVES ME.
i am so very thankful for my knowledge that he is real. that he loves each of us reguardless of any faults, that he never leaves us, that he loves us. i really am excited to meet with him one day and with so much excitement embrace him. i am excited to introduce my family to my sister. my kids always say 'it isn't fair, i didn't get to meet becky' i say....your right it isn't fair but the Lord needed her more then us. i can't wait....k...maybe i can, but you know what i mean.
the reason why i thought of becky was on a blog i follow for primary choristors the activity was so cute and it brought back some funny memories of becky. have a person with a cell phone stand in the hall and call your cell phone as you are getting ready to sing the first song. i am supposed to act surpised when the other person asks specifically for a primary child. they will tell them they are so proud of who they are and tell them to ask me to sing 'I feel my Savior's love' i will then continue that and again the cell phone will ring to ask for another primary child and so on. i will tell them this is just like speaking to Heavenly Father & Jesus. they are our friends. so the memory of becky comes into play. most of you never met her, but she definetly had a mind of her own, you couldn't tell her she was wrong either. so, the one year she attended seminary, lol, the lesson was on prayer. her instructor likend it to talking to the Lord on the phone. like we talk to our friends, we should have that kind of relationship with him, to pick up the phone and he is there.....she wasn't havin' it. she ran her mouth for a few minutes about how stupid that analogy was and low and behold the phone in the church hallway rang. the instructor looked at becky and said...becky, it's for you. she didn't think he was funny. he told her it was the Lord calling her to talk. it was funny when it happened, probably not so much now, but i just thought of this moment of becky.

I have been the primary chorister in my ward for over 2 years now. I LOVE my calling. Dustin jokes that when I'm released it's going to get ugly and they'll have to drag me out kicking and screaming. I was so scared at first but I love the music so much and I share your same testimony of the primary music.Great post!
I remember that day as if it was yesterday. She was kind of angry that the teacher would be right, but that was how she was that year.
It is very sweet of you do write about her. Of course, we too can't wait (but we can) to see all of us together again. I too know Jesus loves us, and I Love Him also. The Holy Ghost uses music to touch our hearts and teach us the important things! lol (LOVE ON LINE)
I just checked out the "The Crazy Chorister" what great help for new choristers. She sounds awesome, like I know you are!
