Starting organizations to help other people is one thing, wanting the priesthood is another. I am not suggesting that you are being pushy or demanding, but I just worry more about how far some people take things. I think the world thinks things should happen and sometimes I think people think that the church should be the same way. And, to over-quote a good quote, the church is true, people aren't always. I have a friend who said that her ward councils asked for no input from the sisters and didn't value their opinion. Is that wrong? Yes. Was that something wrong with the church? No, it was that particular leader. I have been in meetings where us as a RS presidency have been included, valued, needed. I just think that the influence of women is more subtle than some people think, just cause not a lot of women are in the church "spotlight" doesn't mean that our influence is not there. I guess each women wants something different from her participation in the church. I am so glad you listen to my ramblings and I am interested in your writing and opinions. :) I also recognize the sensitivity of the subject and hope I do not offend with my opinion.

I just want to remind all readers though that many good things in the church have happened because women have taken initiative to start them...Primary and Relief Society, for example. Mormon women have a great history of starting great things without waiting for the prophet to tell them what to do! <br />And let's not forget Joseph Smith...he didn't sit around waiting for God's timing to tell him what church was true...he went to the woods to ask! I do feel like God waits for us to ask Him in prayer, then gives as He sees fit, with His timing. But if we never ask, we never get an answer yes or no.e.a.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11823343695769620684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924685875108966097.post-31041926263101937762012-09-14T11:37:49.848-06:002012-09-14T11:37:49.848-06:00Between you and Abby, you have given me a lot to t...Between you and Abby, you have given me a lot to think about. One of my many problems with these articles that I am reading from the news is that it seems like these women who are making lists of "demands" (cause that's what they seem like. Its like do this or else I will feel marginalized) are forgetting one thing: faith. What ever happened to having faith?! I think it comes down to do you have faith in the timing of the Lord? Should some things be changed to include women and should women be more utilized in the church? Probably, but I think no matter how much you write to the news, protest, grip, etc., it is not going to make things happen any faster. Things will happen in Gods way and in his time. I don't want to minimize the feelings other women have, but just have faith in the Lords timing. It got me thinking about how African American men couldn't have the priesthood. I am sure people were unhappy and upset and left the church. Did that do them any good? No. But things happen the way God wants them to. That is all. I am not opposed to any of the things listed happening, but I don't think that by me (or anyone else for that matter) getting all up in arms about it will make it happen any faster and I think it could weaken testimonies. That is my two cents stretched out into about a fiver. :)Rebecca and Codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04779756597395163582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924685875108966097.post-4624517992698796722012-09-04T19:03:38.601-06:002012-09-04T19:03:38.601-06:00Love themom!!!Love themom!!!Write for the generations!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17557468768369813198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924685875108966097.post-72202930915049535492012-09-04T19:03:08.346-06:002012-09-04T19:03:08.346-06:00So My dear sweeter anona!!!

The examples in the lesson of people who have shown faith are George Albert smith, Noah, elder McKay, lot, Moses, Daniel, three Hebrew boys!, Elijah, Jared,Jesus, Joseph smith, brigham young, elders of Israel and a missionary!!! I'm looking for stories out of daughter of our kingdom and other assorted books. So what we need to write in our blogs and journals are stories of how we exemplify faith!!!!! P.s. I resigned my camp calling today using being trumpt by the priesthood as one of yreasons!!!! My mind really is mush and You are molding it!!!!Write for the generations!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17557468768369813198noreply@blogger.com
