CubScouts

Well tonight I was going to tell my Bishop that I wanted to give up my cub scout den, I had been trying to get with him for about 3 weeks to talk to him about it. I have been the den leader for over 3 years and was feeling that I needed to be focusing my energies, well...honestly, on being single and all that entails.At the same time as I have been cub scout den leader I have also been the single adult co leader in my ward so I have been busy a lot and with very little open time to do anything like laundry or even sleep. Some weeks I go 13 or 14 days between when I can just go home from work or have an evening free. All of this means I am tired and unable to do anything for me. But it was tough to ask to be released from cub scouts. I love those boys and I am excited for their upcoming year. So tonight as I walk into the church for Cub scouts there is one of the boys parents there in his uniform! He tells me Bishop asked him to come and observe so he can take over next week because I am getting released ( he then goes didn't Bishop talk to you yet?) I was so relieved! everyone was on the same page where I was concerned. I truly believe that The Lord while preparing me to ask for what I needed also inspired the Bishop to call someone else to Cubs and it was just such a testimony to me that the Lord is aware of ME and cares for me. I still kept the appointment I made to speak with the Bishop and we discussed not only cub scouts ( I told him it was time for me to focus on boys a bit older than 8-10) but also the single adult program in my ward and area and I will put more about some of that on here a bit later but I believe things are going to be moving forward greatly and I am excited to be part of it. I am going to miss being part of the Cub scout program but I am confident that those who there now are going to be wonderful with the boys and far better able to do what the boys need than I would being split between cubs and single adults. I loved my time with them and I hope the boys still remember me and know I cared for them.
