No Doubt About It.....

I belong to a book club with some of my REALLY GOOD FRIENDS here in our ward. We get together twice a month to discuss a book that we have chosen. This month we are reading "No Doubt About it" by Sheri Dew. SUPER REALLY GOOD BOOK THAT I WOULD RECOMMEND TO ANYONE!!!!
She says, "From the adversary's point of view, we are dangerous. Righteous women and righteous men dedicated to the Lord and united in the cause of goodness threaten Satan's work. Of course he would target and attempt to deceive us, women who have a clear understaning of who we are. FOR WE ARE NOT ORDINARY WOMEN. We know that we are beloved spirit daughters of heavenly parents, and that our lives have meaning, purpose, and direction, as the Relief Society Declaration asserts. We are women who seek to hear the voice of the Lord. We are women dedicated to strengthening our marriages, families, and homes; women whose covenants and influence span generations; women who are not easily deceived; women of faith, virtue, vision, and charity-not to mention integrity and purity. We are women who understand that to qualify for eternal life, we must deal with a full range of difficulty and disappointment here. We are free to choose how we live, where we spend our temperal, emotional, and spiritual resources, and to what and whom we devote ourselves."
This book is such a powerful tool on help answer the questions 1.what have we come here to do? and 2. How will we do it? It has made such an impact on my life and the way that I respond to things. I am so thankful for the gospel and the knowlege that I have as a member of this church. Romans 1:16 "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ."
