I got up this morning & went to the church for our annual Stake Relief Society conference. This year the focus was on being "a CERTAIN woman." It's in reference to this AMAZING talk by Sis. Linda K Burton.
Our sisters across the ages have demonstrated the faithful pattern of discipleship that we too strive for. "The New Testament includes accounts of [certain] women, named and unnamed, who exercised faith in Jesus Christ [and in His Atonement], learned and lived His teachings, and testified of His ministry, miracles, and majesty. These women became exemplary disciples and important witnesses in the work of salvation."
I have read and passed over the seemingly unremarkable expression “certain women” numerous times before, but recently as I pondered more carefully, those words seemed to jump off the page. Consider these synonyms of one meaning of the word certain as connected to faithful, certain women: “convinced,” “positive,” “confident,” “firm,” “definite,” “assured,” and “dependable.”
There were a couple of classes on how do we BECOME certain women & service. Both were excellent. The lunch at the end of the conference was super delicious! I liked how they had it already served up on plates so we could just grab it and go find a seat.
The kids were restless and wanted to get out of the house, so we went and saw the new Peter Rabbit movie w/ James Corden as the voice of Peter. It was cute and had adult humor to keep us interested. Not one I'd run out and see again, but we all enjoyed it.
