Calling Dilemma...

Alright readers, whoever you may be! I need some advice from you....so, flash back to my sophomore year in college in my single's ward. They call me to be the ward choir director. I cry and say yes I will do it I guess even though I am shocked they would call me to be the ward choir director. Needless to say I faithfully served in my calling until the end of the school year when I moved. It definitely wasn't my favorite calling, and I really hoped I would NEVER have to do it again.....Back to present day.....Casey and I moved into a family ward and one of the counselors was interviewing us one day and asked what callings I had had....I made the mistake of mentioning choir-and after I said that he wouldn't let me tell him any of the other callings I had had...I walked out of that interview just knowing that they were going to ask me to be the choir director. I cried for weeks, was angry for weeks...and I still really hate being the choir director. It makes me dread going to church because I know I will have to have choir practice afterwards...so to all of you trusty readers I ask this question....would it be bad for me to ask to be released? I know I shouldn't be so negative about this calling, but I feel like it is kind of hindering my spiritual side of life...any suggestions?

  1. I usually try and stick things out for 6 months to get past the hardness of a calling and If I still hate it then I would make a decision. so far I've gotten the hang of it but if it really is hurting you then just talk to the bishop about it! or even your rs pres. they really do care!
