Tonight I read a Conference talk from the Young Women's meeting called Remember Who You Are by Elaine S. Dalton. Talks such as this one make me feel absolutely majestic. I love that feeling. I believe absolutely what she says: "You brought your faith with you when you came to the earth. ... You fought with your faith and testimony to defend the plan that was presented by God. ... You stood with [the Savior] and you were eager for the opportunity to come to earth. You knew what was going to be required of you. You knew it would be difficult, yet you were confident not only that you could accomplish your divine mission but that you could make a difference."
Thoughts such as these are on my mind whenever I think of a new baby coming to earth. I really felt a closeness to the Spirit as I pondered my niece's spirit in the week before she was born. And as I thought, I could sense her spirit... her excitement and strong faith. I felt how powerful she was. And I could sense she was very anxious to come to earth and accomplish her mission. The night I thought those things, as I was driving home, suddenly I felt the words in my mind, "She's not the only one!" I knew in that instant that there was another faithful spirit who has exercised great faith and prepared themselves to come to earth and that they were absolutely ready to come to earth. It was an incredible feeling. I still get goosebumps thinking about it. So that night I stopped by the store to pick up a pregnancy test and sure enough, it read positive after I took it.
It is truly an honor to be a daughter, a wife and a mother in the kingdom of God. I absolutely believe that "[I have] inherited a royal birthright. ... [I have] a divine heritage. [I am] literally [a] royal daughter of [my] Father in Heaven. [I] was born to be a queen." I love love love knowing who I am. I feel like standing tall and being who I really am. I want to always be developing my true beauty... the kind of "beauty that is earned through faith, repentance, and honoring [my] covenants."
