Comfortable In My Skin

So, on March 2 I had to teach a combined Young Women/Relief Society lesson. As Young Women's President, I have to take a turn teaching. My lesson was on "Our Divine Worth" which was actually the YW lesson for that week. I felt that the RS sisters should get a reminder of how great it is to be a woman. In my adult life (and probably in High School too) I have at times struggled to feel good about myself. Don't we all at times? But I am at a point finally in my life when I like who I am inside. I don't say that boasting, but I am comfortable with who I am. I like to be able to help people at work, I am good at what I do at the library. I like the mom I am and the relationship I have with my kids. I like that the young women look up to me and trust me. I love the connection I have with Mark. Now, I know I have soooo much I could improve on and I work to do that every day. I am simply saying that I know that I am a daughter of a Heavenly Father who knows me personally and cares about me. I know that whatever anyone else in the world might think of me, it is HIS opinion that really matters. So ladies, remember you are amazing! I love each and everyone of you. You influence my life in ways you never know.
Back to the lesson, at the end I had Amber sing a song called "To Become Like Him" by Jenny Phillips, during the song she got really emotional and couldn't sing. This usually doesn't happen with her. I got up and sang with her and we finished the song together. As you know I am not a great singer, but the Lord prepared me that week and I was able to do something very difficult. If you would like to hear the song, just click on the song in my playlist and enjoy!
