I know that it has been a while since my last blog! When you are the YW President, you don't have time for much of anything. Well, now I have all the time in the world ! I was released as the YW President two weeks ago. My heart broke that day and still is on some ways.... I can honestly say that I have never felt so weak in the knees that I could not stand and bare my testimony, when the Bishop asked me to! I literally felt like the wind had been kicked out of me. As I was standing there looking at the congregation I was reminded of a time when I was on my mission. We were at a Stake Conference and had a visiting authority, and he asked Sister Smith (my mission mom) to bear her testimony. Sister Smith was not a public speaker. She got very nervous and weak in the knees. She asked that all of the missionaries to stand as she bore her testimony. She needed our strength and power. It was an honor to stand and give her the strength she needed. It is one moment I will never forget.
Well, with the Bishops permission I asked the YW to stand up and give me the strength to bear my testimony. It really touched my heart that they all stood up without hesitation. As soon as they were up, I literally felt the power they had within in themselves strengthen me. i had power to speak and strength to stand. A very tender mercy and moment that I will NEVER forget! What love I felt at that very moment! I love these girls so much! My girls are in great hands. The new YW president is a wonderful person and I am so glad the Lord chose her to lead, love, teach, and nurture my Girls!
