Boy am frightened for the day when my cute little people turn into "TEENAGERS" Which then makes me wonder how moody of a teenager was I?
We are Currently in the tweeny bopper stage (10-12) with Henry and I'm already seeing glimpses of greatness and great moodiness! I believe that he will be an amazing man-that's if I don't make too big of a mess.
The princess Ann has always been emotional so we'll just keep riding that roller coaster! She is going to be one force of woman! WOW! Boys watch out.
The Douglas..verdict is still out. Some days, I think that it is just hard being four and ready to move on to the next big thing-aka Kindergarten.
Back to the moody teenagers... I am the 1st Counselor in the Young Women's Presidency of my Ward. I have this amazing group of girls. Most days, things are wonderful but every once in a while...
I can only imagine the trials these ladies have to face. I remember the difficulty of trying to find where you fit, wanting to be cool, wanting to be grown up but still a little girl and topping it off with all the lovely hormones!
So here is my plea for help. If any of you readers have any advice please send it my way. Here is my second and greatest plea please send prayers the direction of the younger generations of this world and their parents. We need all the heavenly blessings we can get!

Rachel,
ReplyDeleteThank you for this post.
I have been reading random blogs this morning and I must say that I'm worried. Well, actually, I'm disappointed in some of the things that mormom women are writing about. Not all mormon women but some of them. One lady was justifying studying Wicca because the church doesn't talk enough about Heavenly Mother. Others are complaining that the priesthood is present at a RS meeting. I guess they feel safe hiding behind their computer screens and putting random things out there. But if I weren't LDS and read them, I wouldn't have a very high opinion of mormon women. It was all pretty depressing.
And then, my dear friend, I came to your post. It was truthful and loving and inspiring.
Thank you. I can tell that you have a love for the youth of the church and I'm sure you are a great YW leader!
My advice is love them. Listen to them, give them boundaries, encourage them. But most of all, LOVE THEM.
