Here she is signing their books which they have been working diligently for the last several weeks.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JMh_zPhyiok/SQ5FEKEMsNI/AAAAAAAAA7E/1m9yIanYxvQ/s1600-h/The+Pretty+Dress+18+months+015.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JMh_zPhyiok/SQ5FEKEMsNI/AAAAAAAAA7E/1m9yIanYxvQ/s400/The+Pretty+Dress+18+months+015.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264220952166445266" /></a>Christine gave the lesson today on Individual Worth. <div><br /></div><div>A little into the lesson, she handed out a story about a camping trip in Virginia gone awry.  I thought at first that it was a wonderful story from the manual; in a nutshell, the young people's campfire jumped from their <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">fire pit</span>, and fell upon a tree which burst into flames: it was followed by all of the trees around them, despite their best efforts. When hope was lost they knelt to pray, and the fire stopped, "as sudden as it started".<div><div><br /></div><div>It was a miracle.  It was from God.  The story was a true story from Christine's journal.  With tears in her eyes, she told us it showed her that Heavenly Father was aware of her: Individual Worth.</div><div><br /></div><div>At the end of the story, she mentioned passingly that if she would have prayed first, the fire would have been out sooner.  I thought in my life, sometimes I pray after I have been working desperately.  Then, in the moment of defeat, I pray.  I should have taken Christine's advice: stop, drop, and pray (okay, she did not say that in so many words, but that is what I wrote).</div><div><br /></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2805834981560723825-5827409812810007681?l=harmonyparkyoungwomen.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Candicenoreply@blogger.com2
