Today I got to attend a Cedar City women's conference with guest speaker, Sheri Dew. I just want to mention a few things she spoke about. Sheri is such a terrific public speaker! So funny, real, down-to-earth, and motivational. Love her. Her theme was about how no one else can fulfill our mission in life, no one can take our place, and we need to fulfill our missions with courage. She told us that it is impossible to quantify the impact/effect that one righteous woman can have on humanity and the generations that follow after her. She mentioned four sure-fire ways to diminish the influence of women or in other words tactics that Satan uses to try and get us to lose our focus.
1. We need to support and sustain one another. Judging and criticizing others will hold us back.
2. Find out who we really are and how God the Father really feels about us. Learn your true identity. Satain will do everything in his power to confuse our identity.
3. Study and learn about the encompassing power of Jesus Christ's atonement and realize the magnitude and depth of what it can do for us in our lives. Satan wants us to misunderstand the atonement.
4. Be willing to learn the language of the Spirit of the Holy Ghost. Practice listening. It is like learning a foreign language, it takes a time and practice and effort to learn to hear the voice of the Lord. Satan doesn't want us to hear the Spirit of Christ.
ok, she said lots of other things, and those aren't her exact words, just what I can gather and remember from my notes. Sometimes it's hard to believe we have a divine destiny and that we do have a significant mission to fulfill here on earth, but today I got a glimpse and was re-inspired to keep trying to do what I was born to do! No one can take your place!
