I'm sure this has been discussed before, but how long is too long in a calling? I am not one to say no to a calling, and I am not one who asks to be released. With that being said, I am 40 yrs old, and I have served in the primary for 18 1/2 yrs now. (Yes, that's not a typo!). In this ward alone, I've been in for 7 1/2 years. When is it time to ask for a change? I LOVE primary more then anything, but I feel like I am no longer learning for myself. I've got the primary lessons memorized, I don't even need to plan anymore because everything is ready from all the previous years. I just don't feel like I am getting to strengthen my testimony anymore. Some weeks I come home and wonder if I even have one anymore. If the bishop is "inspired" to put me in a calling for this long, how can I inspire him to release me? I know just go talk to him, but I have the hardest time asking to be released. I need advise!
