Truly Royal.

I am a Princess.
As a daughter of God, I am a princess. I know that because of my heavenly identity I need to be the best I can be. I try my hardest to develop my divine qualities. Every day I try to follow my older brother, Jesus Christ, 's example in an attempt to become like him. I know that, even though I'm far from perfect, the more I strive to be like him, the closer I will come to my Father in Heaven.

"Deep inside my young heart lies the one I want to be. And deep inside my soul I find the seeds of divinity. Now and then I see glimpses of the woman I can become. I know someday I'll find her here, if I don't give up. Everyday I'm closer to the one I want to be. And slowly I'm uncovering my heavenly qualities and I'll continue working toward the woman I can become. Developing my qualities through service and through love. I am a princess, a royal queen I'll be. So I must choose to find and use my divine qualities. Daughter of Heaven, a queen someday I'll be, an heir of my Mother in Heaven for eternity."

This is my castle.
This is my temple. I am so grateful to be blessed enough to have a temple less than 15 minutes away from where I live. In fact, I can see the steeple and angel Moroni just looking out of my bedroom window. Often, I find myself not partaking in all the blessings I can receive from going to the temple. I am going to make it a goal to go to the temple at least three times a month, but I'll try for more.

"I love to see the temple. I'm going there someday, to feel the Holy Spirit, to listen, and to pray. For the temple is a house of God, a place of love and beauty. I'll prepare myself while I am young; This is my sacred duty. I love to see the temple. I'll go inside someday. I'll covenant with my father; I'll promise to obey. For the temple is a holy place where we are sealed together. As a child of God I've learned this truth: A family is forever."

He is my Prince.

I may not know him yet, but I know what he'll be like:
  • Returned Missionary.
  • Great sense of humor.
  • Knows who he is.
  • Loves me for me.
  • Honest.
  • Forgiving.
  • Loves God.
  • Considerate.
  • Has a strong testimony.
  • ... to name a few.
"We have been born as Nephi of old to goodly parents who love the Lord. We have been taught, and we understand that we must do as the Lord commands. We are as the Army of Helaman. We have been taught in our youth, and we will be the Lord's missionaries to bring the world his truth. We have been saved for these latter days to build the kingdom in righteous ways. We hear the words our Prophet declares, 'Let each who's worthy go forth and serve.' We are as the Army of Helaman. We have been taught in our youth, and we will be the Lord's missionaries to bring the world his truth. We know his plan, and we will prepare, increase our knowledge through study and prayer. Daily we'll learn until we are called to preach the gospel to all the world. We are as the Army of Helaman. We have been taught in our youth, and we will be the Lord's missionaries to bring the world his truth."
