I finally realized this not even three months ago, but it's been life-changing: church leaders don't own me.
I know it's silly, but I never even considered it. I used to be TERRIFIED of them. I'd accept every calling even if I didn't want to. I'd just blindly follow along because that's all I knew. They were distinguished priesthood leaders, who was I to disobey?
But then I realized I'm a volunteer at a church. I don't have to do anything. They aren't my employer.
I still treat them with respect and everything, but I've finally learned to let go of the guilt and just say no to uncomfortable interviews and callings. (I'm 25, so it's about time).
