The Divine Role of Women

HELP FOR HUMP DAY
Visiting Teaching Message

This quote from Julie Beck, Relief Society President helped me realize something, she says: “I have a testimony gained from pondering and studying the scriptures of a plan of happiness given to us by our Father in Heaven. That plan has a part for His daughters. We have the female half to take care of, and if we don’t do our part, no one else is going to do it for us. The half of our Father’s plan that creates life, that nurtures souls, that promotes growth, that influences everything else was given to us. We can’t delegate it. We can’t pass it off to anyone. It’s ours. We can refuse it, we can deny it, but it’s still our part, and we’re accountable for it. There will come a day when we will all remember what we knew before we were born. We will remember that we fought in a great conflict for this privilege. How do we meet this responsibility? We daily put our energies into the work that is uniquely ours to do.”

This quote struck me because it wasn't until this that I caught on, finally this thought ran across my mind. Women are actually the dominating gender. I know it is not true, but there should be NO reason for women to feel like they NEED to go and do the working part, the providing part, the man part. YES, Women CAN do both part!! They keep showing the world it is true. Why is it that so many women want to go out and do the working thing. I am a victim of this. I keep having the fight of working next year or not. I still feel like I should do it (for time of needs ) but at the same time everything in our future is so "confusing" it may not actually help anything. I do know if he is working we will be provided for when we do our parts BUT when I am subbing I LOVE being there. I know it won't be permeant but I would love the experience to have my own classroom. Sorry, this entry isn't about me, but by teaching full time I won't have time and energy to do "my part".

NEVER will a man say "I need to work, and have the babies, and clean the house, and do all the bills, and the shopping". NEVER!! They know there role and that is PLENTY enough for them. ( Plus, it's impossible for them to have babies so really there is no way the can play both roles.) YES, women can- but we are only accountable for our half. Are we "LIFTING WHERE WE STAND" when it comes to our greatest calling here on earth? Why isn't it enough for some of us?
