Making Our Voices Heard

The other day I found myself saddened at the excommunication of a woman who belonged to my church. She has fought a battle against The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in hopes of allowing women to hold the Priesthood. My heart hurts for her, and for all other women who follow her cause. I am saddened to see dear sisters choosing to live in opposition to the teachings of the Gospel. There are many fundamental beliefs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that are simply being missed by those who are petitioning to ordain women. I feel it is time that the positive voice is heard--the voice in favor of sustaining the priesthood.

Therefore, I have started this blog to allow those of us who have a voice in favor of sustaining the Priesthood a chance to share. I plead with you to take a moment to bear testimony. It doesn't have to be long--even something simple is perfect! Please email your testimony to: sustainpriesthood@gmail.com.

I am so grateful for the Priesthood, the authority given to righteous men to act in the name of God here on this earth. I find myself in awe at the true miracle it is that I can call upon the Priesthood for healing, guidance, direction, peace, etc... whenever I want! Each of us has access to this power, whether male or female. What an amazing gift it is that we have here on this earth to bless our lives. I have seen many miracles, big and small, come from this power and I am so indebted to the Lord for allowing these miracles.

I love that as men and women we are created so differently with a divine purpose. This was not a mistake!! We are supposed to be different with distinctly different roles and responsibilities. I am thankful for this because I think the opposite seems to be so contrary to the divine plan God has established. I personally respect and honor those righteous men who carry this responsibility as I know and feel respected as a woman in my divine roles. I know that this is the work and plan of our Heavenly Father and I fully support it. I sustain the Priesthood!
