Divine Nature of Women

On Sundays I teach young women ages 12-18. This week's lesson is on the Divine Nature of women: "Be partakers of the divine nature...giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charily." 2 Peter 1:4-7

For a take home reminder of the lesson I made these paper high heel shoes...from a template I found here: http://www.creatingkeepsakes.com/content_downloads/Ladies_Shoe_Template_-_CK_Version.pdf

A sticker on the bottom of the sole reads: "I have inherited divine qualities, which I will strive to develop." I hope the lesson goes well, and the girls like the heels. They were fun to make.

Sandra Turley played the role of Cosette in LesMisérables on Broadway for 2 1/2 years.

She is also the voice to Ariel in Disney's Little Mermaid.

Sandra inspired everyone with her mix of testimony and music:

"Spark of Creation" sung by Eve in Children of Eden

"Creating is part of our being..."

"On My Own" from LesMisérables

Heavenly Father knows you, He loves you, he created you.

He wants you to fulfill the measure of your creation!

"The Hills are Alive with the Sound of Music"

Find your own place to feel the influence of the Holy Ghost.

"Music is the voice of the spirit!"

"For Good" from Wicked!

People come into our lives for a reason and leave a handprint on your heart.

"Popular" also from Broadway show Wicked!

Don't let anyone else define who you are.

Your creator [Heavenly Father] is the only one who should and can measure you!

Sandra Turley and Jeremy Harvey

EFY Entertainers!

Jeremy suffers from cerebral palsy and low vision,

but when at the piano his drawn, rigid hands flew like lightening.

His message: "Remember who you are" and "find happiness!"

The Lord has great expectations for you.

[Reflecting on the fairy tale: The Ugly Duckling, that turned out to be a swan.]
