STRONG WILLED

I have really been struggling with my beautiful VERY strong willed, Paislee. She is so sweet and at the same time will look you in the eye and lie to you. She is almost three and you would think she was sixteen. If she is going into a room and you turn the light on she turns it back off so that she can turn it back on. She wants no help with anything and it is always her way or no way! I am now in Young Women's and I think our lesson was a direct message to me. She talked about how these girls have been saved to come down to earth at the most trying times. She spoke of how our young women are going to have to be STRONG WILLED so that they can over come the adversary. These girls are going to have to stay close to their Heavenly Father so that they can listen to him and know how to return to him because this world keeps getting worse and worse. I never once thought that I should be grateful for my daughter being so strong willed, I looked at it as Heavenly Father punishing me for all the trouble I gave my parents. Now I look at it as a hugh blessing to know that my daughter as the attributes to overcome this wicked world and return to her Heavenly Father. Sometimes we (I) really need to look at the bigger picture of our struggles to see God's plan for us. He really does know all.
