“Have faith that you are a daughter of Heavenly Father who loves you.Determine which of your divine gifts will allow you to be a champion for Christ.Realize that you have been sent to Earth with a divine mission that is yours to achieve.Let your knowledge come from the good parts of life that surround you.Choose to set high standards and defend them.Become a great woman by doing good. Always be on the Lord's errand.Leave your mark. Be true in every situation--even when no one is watching.Let your strength come from having high moral standards.Look to Him.Stand as His witness.Become a keeper of what matters most.”
