Several years ago I had the amazing opportunity of being a
Young Women leader. I love the Young
Women program and even more I love the Young Women’s Theme. I love what it teaches our Young Women. It is so sad to me that this world today is
so focused on the outward appearance that we forget what is most important, the
inward appearance. I love that Young
Women’s teaches our girls that. I want
my daughter and my step-daughters to grow up knowing who they are and where
they come from. I don’t want them to
think that their self-worth is tied to their outward appearance. It saddens me to know that there will be
women out there who will try to teach the girls that they only have value
through the outward appearances. I realize that I have to do everything I can
to teach these precious daughters of God that they are Daughters of a King. I
love that they do have many amazing women in their lives that are shining
examples of valiant and radiant women; their grandmothers, their aunts, and me.
When I was in the Young Women’s as a leader I came up with what I came to call
the “value girls”. They were paper dolls
I made to reflect each value. I hope
that they can inspire Young Women everywhere to realize who they really and
truly are……. Daughters of a Heavenly Father who loves them.
Faith
Faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true. (Alma 32:21)I am a daughter of a Heavenly Father, who loves me. I have faith in His eternal plan, which centers on Jesus Christ, my Savior.
Faith’s color is White which stands for purity.
I dressed her in a dress with hearts because faith comes from the heart and it is felt in the heart. She has a seed packet in her hand because faith is like a seed.
My Testimony of Faith: Faith is often referred to as a seed, that when planted it will grow. When you plant a seed, you can't just plant it, walk away and expect it to live and grow. It needs work and care. It needs watered and nourished. Weeds have to be plucked from around it. Faith is like that seed, it has to be worked on, nurtured, and fed or it cannot grow. Faith in Jesus Christ is the first principle of the Gospel. You must always work on your Faith to keep a strong testimony growing.
