I'll Go Where You Want Me To Go

I've been absorbed by the subject of my last post for a long time. At church today, I had a thought. We were singing the hymn, "I'll Go Where You Want Me To Go." The song says, I'll go where you want me to go, dear Lord, over mountain or plain or sea. It's easy to say that you will go anywhere and do anything the Lord wants you to do. If He called on you to do something really taxing, you would do it. It is, of course, for the Lord. But why would the Lord ever call on us to do what He needs, when we aren't doing what we have been asked already? If we are too tired to get up for church on Sunday, too busy to do visiting teaching, which we as Relief Society sisters have been called to do, why would the Lord trust us with anything else? I often think that if the Lord called on me to move to some far-off place, I wouldn't hesitate. I used to have this dream that I was famous and would regularly confer with the Bretheren and/or the First Presidency on what I should say on talk shows and other interviews. I was called on to be a sort of musical ambassador for the Church. I have so many lofty dreams that are fairly attainable, but if I am not doing the small things, why would I get to do the big things, too? I've heard people question when we will receive the sealed portions of the Book of Mormon, and the answer is, of course, not until we have treasured, followed, prayed about, and studied the portion we already have!
