"Roll making is a great homemaking skill. As I bake them, a sweet aroma
fills the house. I am able to show my love for my family by sharing
something I created. When I study the scriptures, the Spirit of the Lord
fills my home. I gain important understanding, which I then share with
my family, and my love for them increases. The Lord has told us that our
time should 'be devoted to the studying of the scriptures' (D&C
26:1) and that 'the Book of Mormon and the holy scriptures are
given... for [our] instruction' (D&C
33:16). Every woman can be a gospel doctrine instructor in her
home, and every sister in the Church needs gospel knowledge as a leader
and teacher. If you have not already developed the habit of daily
scripture study, start now and keep studying in order to be prepared for
your responsibilities in this life and in the eternities." - Julie B.

"The responsibility mothers have today has never required more
vigilance. More than at any time in the history of the world, we need
mothers who know. Children are being born into a world where they
'wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places' (Ephesians
6:12). However, mothers need not fear. When mothers know who they
are and who God is and have made covenants with Him, they will have
great power and influence for good on their children." - Julie B. Beck,

"When I was in high school, a counselor read the results of my test
scores and told me she did not think I would do well in college. But
after I prayerfully studied my patriarchal blessing, I felt I should not
abandon my lifelong goal. So, because I had insight into the Lord's plan
for me, I had hope in my heart, and I was able to move ahead
confidently. I discovered that I was successful in that setting, and I
earned a university diploma. When we know who we are and what we are
supposed to do, it is easier to make important decisions about
education, careers, and marriage. It is easier to shine our light in our
families, with our friends, and in all other places." - Julie B. Beck, "You
Have a Noble Birthright ," Conference Report, April 2006

"A good woman knows that she does not have enough time, energy, or
opportunity to take care of all of the people or do all of the worthy
things her heart yearns to do. Life is not calm for most women, and each
day seems to require the accomplishment of a million things, most of
which are important. A good woman must constantly resist alluring and
deceptive messages from many sources telling her that she is entitled to
more time away from her responsibilities and that she deserves a life of
greater ease and independence. But with personal revelation, she can
prioritize correctly and navigate this life confidently." - Julie

Because of Christ there is hope smiling brightly before you, and you
need not worry too much about sickness, death, poverty, or other
afflictions. The Lord will take care of you. Your responsibility is to
keep the commandments, feast upon the words of Christ, and stay in the
path to your heavenly home. - Julie

In order to do our part as women under the Lord’s plan, we must stand
strong and immovable in faith, strong and immovable in family, and
strong and immovable in relief. We must excel in these three important
areas which set us apart as the Lord’s disciples. Through Relief Society
we practice being disciples of Christ. We learn what He would have us
learn, we do what He would have us do, and we become what He would have
us become. When we gather with this focus, the work of Relief Society is
relevant whatever your circumstance—whether you are 18 or 88, single or
married, have children or not, or whether you live in Bountiful, Utah,
or Bangalore, India. - Julie B. Beck,

When you were baptized, you became participants in the first great hope,
the Atonement of Christ. Every time you worthily partake of the
sacrament, you have the opportunity to begin again and do a little
better. It is like burying the old, unworthy part of yourself and
starting over with a new life. - Julie
