Weekly Spotlight Challenge: Indiviual Worth

I haven't posted for a while and I apologize for that. We had some issues but are now back! The last challenge I gave you all was work on your divine nature. How did you do on that challenge? Leave a comment to let me know what you did to work on developing your divine nature. I admit, I didn't do much to improve my divine nature. But I did pray and ask for help on developing divine nature. I also thought about what divine nature means. To me divine nature means that you are kind and loving. I believe we show our divine natures in the way we speak and act. Basically, our divine natures are, in my opinion, trying the hardest we can to be like Jesus.

You guessed it, this week's challenge is individual worth. I want you to work on developing your individual worth. What do you think individual worth means? Do you believe you are of value? If you don't believe that then this challenge should really help you. You do matter. Heavenly Father sent you here on this earth didn't he? Why would he have done that if it didn't matter. If someone tells you that you are worthless, don't listen to them. What do they know? Heavenly Father knows that you have value and that is all that matters. Even if you do have a high self esteem this challenge can still help you. It is good to remind yourself of your individual worth every once in a while.

Some ideas on what you can do this week for individual worth. Do some of the value experiences in the personal progress book. Talk to your mother or another adult on what they think individual worth means. Think yourself about what individual worth means and write your thoughts in a journal. Pray and ask for guidance on how to develop your own individual worth. Come up with your own idea and do it. There are so many ways on how to develop your own individual worth. As always, I will do a couple posts this week on people who knew/know that they had/have individual worth and put it to good use. Don't forget to comment on how you did with your divine nature challenge and don't forget to do this week's challenge!

Weekly Spotlight Challenge: Divine Nature

Before I give you this week's challenge, I am going to give you my overview on how I did on last week's challenge. Last week's challenge was faith. I did do a couple things to build my faith. Every morning and night I said my prayers. I really did try to connect with Heavenly Father while I was praying though, not just doing it to say I did it. I also tried to read the scriptures each night. (Although I admit I did miss a few nights.) While I read I tried to thoroughly study the scriptures though and not just read over the words. I also did a value experience in my personal progress book. So that is my weekly overview and I really think that my faith has grown, even if it is just a bit. Now comment and give me yours!

This weeks spotlight challenge is... divine nature! We as young women have a duty to develop our divine nature and that is exactly what we will be doing this week. For divine nature, I honestly think the best way to help develop that is by doing some of the value experiences. I have done a couple of them and they really do help you develop a divine nature. You can also make a list of virtues that you think are part of a woman's divine nature. Then chose one or two of them to work on this week. Ask your own mother or a leader what they did to develop divine nature when they were your age. Those are just a couple of ideas that you can do. If you don't like them, go ahead and make up your own way to develop divine nature!

Like last week, I will post stories of women developing divine nature or things that I have done to develop divine nature. (Although I will try to do more than last week!) Don't forget to give me last week's overview and don't forget your challenge this week! I will be helping develop my divine nature this week and will give my overview next week along with next week's challenge!
