Womanhood

Last week at church was just very profound all around, because the Relief Society lesson made me reflect and reread the talk And upon the Handmaids in Those Days Will I Pour Out My Spirit by Sister Beck given during the April 2010 General Conference of the church. The main point of discussion was based around this question:

• How does a women in our day find answers to her own questions and stand strong and immovable against incredible opposition and difficulty?
  

We talked about finding answers to life's questions through personal revelation. Personal revelation which we receive as we live worthy of the Spirit. Revelation can come at any time so we must always be ready to receive the guidance from the Lord.

We also talked about the need to strengthen and be strengthened by others around us, especially those in the Relief Society. We are suppose to lean on one another to be strengthen through our trials and also allow others to be strengthened by our faith and example.

Last but not least we talked about the need to measure our success. As women we often feel the need for perfection, which we must realize will probably never be attained in this life. Rather we need to strive to live each day a little better, more like the example that was set by our Savior Jesus Christ.

It was a good reminder to me that the Lord has a plan for me, that He has created ways for me to feel of His love for me.
