Who You Are

A surprising truth that I've learned recently is that I love my Primary calling.  Those lessons aren't written for children, they're written for me.  Yesterday we talked about our premortal life and how Jesus volunteered to be our Savior because he loves us so much.  And even though I've known this all my life, it hit me:  God is the father of my spirit!  Jesus is my older brother!  They both love me and KNOW me.  I'm not just another face in a crowd of billions, I'm known and loved and I have a purpose and a part to play here on earth.

There's a song on the Hilary Weeks album that Angie gave me that just sums this up perfectly.  It's called "Who You Are"

I know you wonder if you'll ever have a day

When the kids stay calm, the laundry's done and the dishes are put away

And sometimes you feel like your days are spent and gone

And the question running through your mind is what have I gotten done?

And when you finally have a moment to slow down

At the end of your day, I know Father would say

Believe in what you're doing

Believe in who you are

Hold tight to the truth that you're a daughter of God

Believe in who you're becoming

Believe in who you are

It may seem simple - all the little things you do

But the lives you touch matter so much

And there's no one else like you

And Father needs you to stand tall and faithful

To be all you can be

Oh, if you could see what He sees, you'd

Believe in what you're doing

Believe in who you are

Hold tight to the truth that you're a daughter of God

Believe in who you're becoming

Believe in who you are

When it's hard to believe in yourself

And you feel like you're beginning to doubt

Remember

He believes in what you're doing

He believes in who you are

Don't lose sight of the truth that you're a daughter of God

That He believes in who you're becoming

He believes in who you are

I believe.
