If we would unleash the full influence of covenant-keeping women, the kingdom of God would change overnight. This is why Satan has never underestimated us. He knows we are at the heart of the Father's plan. So from the beginning, Lucifer has worked with a vengeance to distort the very definition of womanhood and to confuse everyone about us, including us.

Mom and Maddy's Night Out
Maddy and I got to go the the Nutcracker by Ballet West at the Capitol Theatre Tuesday night. It was great! Ever since I was young I have always wanted to see it. I even got a little emotional at the beginning of the dancing because of the realization of a dream. Maddy's eyes lit up watching the wonderful performance. The dancers are so talented. If you didn't already know it about me you do now that I LOVE dancing. I love to dance, and watch dancing. My sister and her family were there that night too. It was fun for me to share my first experience of the Nutcracker with my big sister Keenie (nickname). Maddy got a new dress just in time to be able to wear it that night. It was fun to get dressed up for it. Maddy unfortunately got boo boo's on the back of her ankles since her shoes were new too. When it was time to walk back to the car Maddy was limping. So even in my dress I gave her a piggyback almost the whole way to the car. It was a memorable night I will never forget.
That sounds like so much fun. And what a memory for Maddy to share with her mom. Maybe we'll get around to doing something like that sometime - I haven't seen it in years.
It sounds like you guys had fun, I love doing things with Kaisa. She is so much fun and I hope it becomes a trdition for her when she has a doughter of her own.
We were created with the express purpose and potential of experiencing a fulness of joy. Our birthright--and the purpose of our great voyage on this earth--is to seek and experience eternal happiness. One of the ways we find this is by creating things............What you create doesn't have to be perfect. So what if the eggs are greasy or the toast is burned? Don't let fear of failure discourage you. Don't let the voice of critics paralyze you -- whether that voice comes from the outside or the inside............The more you trust and rely upon the Spirit, the greater your capacity to create. That is your opportunity in this life and you destiny in the life to come. Sisters, trust and rely on the Spirit. As you take the normal opportunities of your daily life and create something of beauty and helpfulness, you improve not only the world around you but also the world within you.
