In Young Women's we had a beauty night. The Young Women's President read this quote to all the girls. It is taken from a talk in a Conference by Sister Nadauld.
The decision for you to be born into this earth female was determined long before mortal birth, as were the divine differences of male and female.
Our outward appearance is a reflection of what we are on the inside. Our lives reflect that for which we seek. And if with all our hearts we truly seek to know the Savior, we will reflect his love to others.
Celebrate your femininity! Part of knowing that you are a Daughter of God is looking your best. Looking your best on the outside should reflect your standards on the inside.
Women of God can never be like women of the world.
The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender.
The world has enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind.
There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined.
We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith.
We have enough women of greed; we need more goodness.
We have enough vanity; we need more virtue.
We have enough popularity; we need more purity.

I just caught up on your blog. That sounds scary with Josephs breathing. I'm glad his second surgery went well and that he is able to see. Sounds like like has been a bit hectic. Take care, Tiffani
I wish I had learned as a teenager to CELEBRATE Womenhood instead of be so annoyed with it. Thanks for reminding me.
