Preparing for our Sunday Lesson

Come Follow me lesson - Matthew 6:1–4 I should care more about what God thinks of me than what others think.  Such an encouraging thought taught in this weeks lesson which sets deep in my heart by the struggles I have been going Thru the past few months.  With brother Wallentine and sister Wallentine’s  unkind words toward me have been so hurtful.   I know my Heavenly Father loves me and is pleased with my efforts even when others do not see it and are critical of me.  I need to let go and be happy.  I posted a video of all of young women pictures I took this past year and half on Facebook it has been a healing time for me to reflect on the joys from my calling despite the challenges I have had to deal with that has brought great sorrow and stress to me as the president.  Sister Menlove so thoughtful to give me call and send me a sweet text in my time of sorrow-  Debbie, I went through a very difficult time when I was released from the Relief Society presidency. There were some conflicts, and I felt like a failure and like I didn’t handle things well. I was very upset with Martell. I was sad and depressed for sometime. I haven’t shared this with anyone but Martell. It was a difficult challenge for me. It has taken time to work things through. I still feel bad about it. I trust you to keep this close to your heart. You may already know that I am extremely private. I love and admire you and the amazing energy and love you put into whatever you do! I am so impressed with all that you do for the young women and how much you love them. I am super grateful for your willingness to share your MANY talents! You have helped me so many times!! I appreciate your kindness and friendship. Thanks for blessing my life! With MUCH love, Ronda -  Thank you for such a so needed message..
