I got called today to be the secretary in Young Women's. I'm really excited!
I think this is going to be an excellent calling for me and I'm anxious to find out what will be required of me.

A little history...
I'm writing this post as an accounting of my re-conversion to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I was raised and baptized into this church as a young girl but decided to leave and become "inactive" when I was 17. I married twice and in my latest marriage, have a little girl who is now 4 1/2. I've always known I was spiritual and that God would become important again at some point in my life. It did, when I became a mother. Three years ago, I started going to church again and I have felt loved, supported, forgiven and a million other emotions since then. Unfortunately, I do this alone. My husband, also raised in this church, has decided to remain inactive. It has put a rift in our marriage as it is a very family oriented church. He has been very antagonistic and makes it difficult for me to be a member. I do my best to take my daughter with me when I go. Although my entries don't start until this about a year ago, my re-conversion is still occurring and will be for many years as I learn more about my Savior, Jesus Christ and about the great sacrifice he made for me, and you, in Gethsemane, and on the cross at Calvary. To fully understand all that I've been through, you may feel inclined to start from the beginning post. If this is something you are also going through, I would like to hear from you. We need to stick together, form a network of faith and support. God hears our prayers, but we can be of support to each other as well.
I believe that Jesus lives, that he loves each of us and suffered our sins so that we could overcome Satan and live in his glory for eternity with our families.

Congrats on the calling...I was in YW 2 1/2 yrs and loved it.
I also got a calling while pregnant (primary president). It was the easiest pregnancy I've had (3 kids). I really believe when we're in the Lord's service, he blesses us with the ability to do the job.
Congratulation. I got rebaptized last august and 6 days after I was called in the nursery. The issue is that I seem to only get called in the Primary or the nursery and I am not "that crazy" about children. I would love to trade callings with you.
Here’s a million dollar question – If you were to die right now, would you qualify for the celestial kingdom? If you’re like most Mormons, you’re not sure. You try hard to be as good as possible, but you still don’t know if you’ve done enough. If the Book of Mormon is really scripture, this hope will always elude you. Alma 11:37 says God cannot save you in your sins. Are all of your sins forgiven? Moroni 10:32 says you must be perfected in Christ, which can only be done by denying yourself of “all ungodliness”. Have you done that? Do you repent on a regular basis? Is so, then it is clear that you sin on a regular basis, since only those who break the commandments need to repent. 1 Nephi 3:7 states that you are able to keep His commandments. In fact according to D&C 25:15, you are required to keep them continually! Since you haven’t done this so far, why assume you will in the future? Of course, we should all try to be holy; but if you think that sinning less will qualify you to live in God’s presence, you are mistaken (Gal 3:1-11). The assumption that good works are required for forgiveness only cheapens Christ’s atonement, making it nothing more than a partial payment. God chooses to justify us by faith. Jesus alone does the “perfecting” (Heb 10:14). God gives peace to those who trust in Him alone. If you don’t have this peace, it’s probably because at least a part of you trusts in yourself.

Further The Kingdom: In answer to all of your questions, I suggest you read, "Believe in Christ" by Stephen Robinson.
