Inspiration

I moved 2 days ago.
You know how that is.
Today I tried to organize my office space a bit. I put up some of my favorite inspirations on my new bulletin board. I decided that sharing my inspirations would be a good post. And then I was robbed.

Yes, stupid me. I left my purse in the passenger seat of my car, in plain view, while I went to pick up my daughter. I was gone about 20 minutes, and when I got back, the window was shattered and my purse was gone.

So then I went back and forth....do I post about how violated I feel and how mad I am and how I am really upset that my $50 gift certificate to MAC was in there.....or do I keep focused on what inspires me and move ahead.

Give me a young woman who loves home and family, who reads and ponders the scriptures daily, who has a burning testimony of the Book of Mormon. Give me a young woman who faithfully attends her church meetings, who is a seminary graduate, who has earned her Young Womanhood Recognition Award and wears it with pride! Give me a young woman who is virtuous and who has maintained her personal purity, who will not settle for less than a temple marriage, and I will give you a young woman who will perform miracles for the Lord now and throughout eternity. ~ President Ezra Taft Benson
