God really does talk

Awhile back I was suprised to be called to a Stake calling. Surprised because I was young, unqualified, and unsure of whether they had made the right decision. When I went to be set apart, I felt the 1st counselor in the Stake presidency look at me like maybe he wondered why I had been called too.

Then came the blessing. As he spoke, he talked specifically about the talents I had that I would use in my calling, he talked about what Heavenly Father wanted for me and how he understood my needs. When he spoke, I truly felt as if God were working through this amazing man to bless me. The man in the Stake Presidency would have never personally known all the things he said about me. I felt full of the spirit.

When I turned around to shake his hand, I'll never forget the different look in his eye. He looked at me with intensity and a small smile like I was qualified, smart, and capable, like now he understood. I believe in that moment, he looked at me through God's eyes, and I saw the trust my Heavenly Father has in me to help his children.
