Can I just tell you how incredible tonight was?
I had the beautiful opportunity to attend the Young Women General Broadcast with my mother and sisters. It was a beautiful night and Temple Square was perfect. I cannot smile enough when I think about it :) The sun was setting perfectly behind the Temple and the gorgeous flowers are starting to pop up. It was amazing to see all the young women, with their mothers and leaders, grandmothers, best friends, siblings, etc. It's been a dream of mine since I can remember, to attend the Young Women General Conference inside the Conference Center. We found a good number of people from our neighborhood and it was so cute to see the young women that I've loved and missed so dearly. The feeling of the Spirit was incredible.
I really miss young women's. It was where I grew closest to my Heavenly Father. It was where I was safest, it was my escape from the world, it was where I felt most loved and I knew and could see my potential in so many things. I knew what I deserved, I was diligent in so many aspects of my life. It was the happiest years of my life and I miss them very much. It was a little bitter-sweet because I wish I could go back to those days. Sometimes I don't feel like a "young woman" because I'm a "young adult" but I have to remind myself, that I'm still a Daughter of God. No matter what I physically look like, due to my age, I spiritually will always be a Daughter of God. I can always where my young women medallions and honor bee with pride because I worked so hard for those, and I do not regret the service and sacrifice I made to receive that; from my Heavenly Father. I cannot stress it enough to young women, how important it is that they stay involved in young women's. Serve their fellow sisters and to work as hard as possible to keep the faith, and the relationship with their Heavenly Father strong. Life gets so busy and so hard so quickly, that you soon forget things and then you wonder "Why? Why me?"
One of my very favorite moments (included in the collage above) was walking towards the Temple to take some pictures before the session started. We walked past a beautiful family dressed in white. They had just got sealed to one another. It included the father, the mother, and their 4 beautiful children. I almost cried. I cannot believe I just watched Heaven walk by me. To see a family dressed in white, pure and holy as they were, knowing they just became a forever family really touched my heart. I cannot wait to see all of my family in white, together, forever. I cannot imagine life without, nor in the life hereafter.
My favorite part of the entire meeting is when the prophet walks in. And there is complete silence. Every stands, as we watch this cute elderly man walk in. I've never seen anyone, or known anyone as holy as he is. I love his smile, and his caring heart, full of love and his willingness to serve each and everyone of us. I'm so grateful for the Young Women General Presidency. They are beautiful women, and I loved everything they had to say. I'm getting very anxious about the General Conference magazine to come out in May... I almost am impatient. I'm seriously so blessed :)
It is incredible to be who I am today. To be a Daughter of a loving Heavenly Father. I love my life, and I love this gospel, I cannot live without it. I'm so grateful to have had the program of Young Women's growing up. It taught me exactly what I needed at exactly the right moments. I'm grateful for all of my leaders past and present, that continue to be a beautiful example in my life :) I'm really excited to move on to Relief Society to become the women, wife and mother that Heavenly Father needs me to be for my future, and I'm extremely grateful for all the women I have as beautiful examples in my life :) What a wondrous thing!
Incredible.
I'm so grateful for this gospel, for all of it's amazingness, and I cannot stress that enough. I would be nowhere in life without it. It is who I am, and who I continue to become each and every single day. The Lord is always with me, and the Holy Ghost is leading and guiding me. My Father does in fact hear my prayers and I've witnessed miracles from the power of prayer. Heavenly Father has not forgotten me.. and he has definitely not forgotten you.I had the beautiful opportunity to attend the Young Women General Broadcast with my mother and sisters.
