My Girls

We had Night of Excellence on Wednesday night for our YW. (For those who don't know: the LDS Young Womens program has 2 big functions they put on each year about Personal Progress [which is a goal setting program in a variety of areas.]

It went so well! Our theme was a nightly news broadcast. The Laurels were the news anchors and reporters while the Beehives and Mia Maids did commercials on the 7 YW values ("and now a word from our value sponsor".) They were clever and everything went so well. For the "local news" I put together a slide show to recap the year and highlight the personal progress each girl has completed this year. I loved that the girls did the program and it was all about them.

I felt so much less stress than last year. I'm sure a lot of it is because it wasn't my first one and I'm learning to delegate more and more. They gave me flowers at the end of the night. I was really touched. I'm always so critical of myself and I feel like I haven't been doing enough. I appreciate their acknowledgment.

I love these Young Women. How instantly they become like my own. I worry and pray and love them every day. I hope I can do my best to be a positive force in their lives. I also hope and pray that my own daughters will have leaders that love them just as much.

What a good idea, Rachel. We have our coming up next month, but we haven't even thought of an idea yet. I'm sure you're glad yours is done and over with!

This is Halloween Nite!
