SHERI DEW GEMS:
"It is in moments of disappointment, heartache, and loneliness that we often make decisions that forge our faith, mold our characters, and fortify our convictions about the only source of strength and solace that satisfies. And that is J e s u s C h r i s t."
"Our ability to successfully negotiate this spiritual minefield called mortality improves dramatically if we are clear about who we are and what is important. And what is important is eternal life."
"Yielding ourselves to the Lord, from whom we may obtain greater strength than we will ever muster on our own, is the only source of strength in this life and happiness in the life to come."
"If there were ever a time when the Lord needed righteous, determined women who can distinguish between the adversary's deceptions and the voice of the Lord, it is now. If there were ever a time when the Lord needed women who stand committed and consecrated, it is now. If there were ever a time when the Lord needed women of integrity and purity who live in the world but rise above it, it is now. If there were ever a time when the Lord needed His daughters to be alert to what is happening in society and to defend the sanctity of the home and family, it is now. If there were ever a time when the Lord needed us to have a clear vision of who we are, where we are, and what is important—it is now."
"We no longer have the luxury of spending our energy on anything that does not lead us and our families to Christ."
"There is one thing the power of God and the power of Satan have in common: Neither can influence us unless we allow them to."
"The last days are not for the faint of heart or the spiritually out of shape."

I only hope that I have the strength of heart and am spiritually in shape! :) Good thing we have spiritual cheerleaders in each other! LYLAS!
Amen sistah! And what a great cheerleader you are!
I love Sheri Dew and those are some great quotes that I needed today. Congrats on your new calling. When I was called to be the stake primary secretary years ago I thought it must be to teach me to be organized cuz I wasn't! I think that the best thing it did for me was allow me to associate with some wonderful women in the presidency who taught me some important things that I still remember. I'm still not organized. :) Have fun with it!
Thanks Valerie! It's good to know someone who "made it out alive!" Thanks for visiting my blog! LYLAS!
