Last year, I was a Sunday School teacher for youth ages 14-15 at my church. I loved the calling, and I still miss it. Occasionally, I go to the lds youth link on the church's main website to keep current with that age group. Among so many awesome resources, there is a nice compilation of uplifting music that can be downloaded. I was especially touched today by a song I found called I Will by Hilary Weeks.
In this song, Hilary Weeks says simply, "In a world where so many will not, I will."
Isn't it a beautiful thing to have the opportunity to choose? I can choose to obey, I can choose to be strong, I can choose to follow the Prophet, I can choose to have courage, I can choose to listen. And in these final days before the Second Coming of the Savior, I can choose to part of the hastening of the work.
I have felt recently the need to do my work as a mother more completely. I may not always love all the daily routine things about being a mom, but I love teaching the gospel to my children. I will teach with power. I will bear testimony of the Savior Jesus Chirst. I will help my children know that repentance is real. I will prepare them to make covenants with their Father in Heaven. I will create a home environment where the spirit can be felt.
I will.

That's a powerful statement.
(Not where I thought you were going with the post, but a good ending nonetheless.)
I am sure your children will lack for nothing, in any department.
