GOAL #2 OUR INDIVIDUALITY COMES FROM OUR SPIRITUAL STRENGTH

I’ve selected what I think are the greatest concerns we, as women of the church, should be focusing on.  I realize this is a bold statement and I welcome any additions to this list.  But if you agree with me, please comment and share your experiences.  I am posting them as separate goals, and they are not in any particular order, because I feel they are all equally important.
GOAL #2  OUR INDIVIDUALITY COMES FROM OUR SPIRITUAL STRENGTH
When we are confident in who we are, we are capable of being our best self.  We are daughters of a loving Heavenly Father.  There are certain things required of each of us to be accomplished as a group and as individuals.  Sometimes our selfish desires get in the way of finding out, and acting on, these responsibilities.  If we really understood what Heavenly Father has in store for us, we would prioritize our lives differently.  We would be unique individuals relying more on one another’s strengths, because we recognize we are all daughters with a place in our Father’s heart.
The scriptures have the answers to life.  If you were to set up a study plan that fits your interest and schedule, you would discover these answers.  Certain verses will hit you in a loving way and become your source for strength.  Knowing answers will give you power.  Understanding what the Atonement means to you will help you to use it more in your life and overcome life’s difficulties.  By studying the scriptures, you will know how loved you are.
The Relief Society is not just a Sunday lesson.  Although, when you come to class, having read the lesson beforehand, your understanding will be quickened, and your experiences will come to light for the helping of others seeking light and knowledge.
Study groups are not encouraged in Relief Society activities.  I have often wondered why.  Yes, I know in the past some groups have gotten off base and caused concern and worry for groups in general.  But many sisters feel uncomfortable in a classroom environment, where they might flourish in a small group of friends.  For those who sincerely want to learn points of doctrine, I would hope arrangements could be made to teach, build confidence, and gather strength from knowing the gospel.
