Glorious

The other day, a friend who I served in YW's with, posted a video we made last year. I realized I didn't ever blog about it! It's been on my mind a lot this week. It was such a powerful message that I hope every individual knows and holds onto. The theme for our Evening of Excellence 2015 was "Glorious." We based it off of the song by David Archuleta. You can click here to listen to it. It is the theme song for the movie Meet The Mormons. The lyrics talk about our purpose and what we can create with that purpose. Most importantly "..each one of us, is glorious.."

We wanted the ugly  room we used to be totally transformed and have that glorious feeling when you walked in. It took us a few days to accomplish. Thankfully we have husbands and some missionaries who were always willing to serve us.

Sorry about the harsh white balance...

The girls displayed their projects that they had worked on throughout the year. My beautiful friend Jenelle Jones came and spoke on self worth. So grateful for friends who can speak so well to a crowd. Then we had our video presentation. We wanted the song to mean more so we had some of the girls participate in the singing.

Some of the clips you are seeing in this movie are the YW working on their projects. 

Thanks to SJ for helping us record the song...and for ending up singing most of it.

I'm so grateful for the youth of the church. They are my people! I hope they will always remember how glorious they are. I know how quickly that can be overshadowed by trivial things or dumb individuals. It's my hope and prayer that these girls (and myself) remember our worth and who Heavenly Father KNOWS we can become.

I loved the quote by Elder Holland at the end of this video:
Be a woman of Christ! He needs you, this church needs you, the world needs you. A woman's abiding trust in God and unfailing devotion to things of the spirit, have always been an anchor when the wind and the waves of life were fiercest.
