A quote that I received when I was 14-years-old.
"Everyone longs to give of themselves completely to someone, to have a deep, full relationship with another, to be loved thoroughly and exclusively, but God says, 'No! Not until you are satisfied, fulfilled and content with being loved by me alone, with giving yourself totally and unrevolvedly to me; to have a intensely personal and unique relationship with me alone. I love you my child and until you discover that only in me is your satisfaction found, you will not be capable of the perfect human relationship that I have planned for you. You will never be united with another until you are united with me; exclusively of anyone or anything else; exclusive of another's desires or longings. I want you to stop planning and stop wishing. Allow me to bring that person to you. Just keep watching me, expecting the greatest things. Keep listening and learning the things I tell you. Just wait, that's all. Don't be anxious, don't worry, and don't look around at the things you think you want. You just look up to me, or you will miss what I want to show you. When you are ready, I'll surprise you with a love more wonderful than you would have ever dreamed of. You see, until you are ready and until the one I have for you is ready at the same time...until you are both satisfied, exclusively with me and the life I have prepared for you, you will not be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with me. This is perfect love.'
"And dear one, I want you to have this wonderful love. I want you to see, in the flesh, a picture of your relationship with me, and enjoy materially and concretely the everlasting union of beauty, perfection, and love that I offer you with myself.
"Please know that I love you utterly. Believe it and be satisfied."

What I long to be:
"Sisters, you were not born at this time and place by chance. You are here because this is where the Lord wants you to be...
"....Strong women are needed, women who will stay morally clean when all about them do not, women who will establish homes that are a little bit of heaven and where the family is upheld and little children are cared for and given love and attention by their own mothers, women who will shun pornography-not just older women, but young women too, who will seek personal and social refinement, who will strive to become more cultured, who will respect the authority of the home and the priesthood. As the Church grows, there will be a need for more women who are leaders, for more women everywhere who have the courage to proclaim their testimony of Jesus Christ, women who will pray and study to find out what the Lord requires of them and who will then make right choices and put themselves in the hands of the Lord."
-Betty E. Brown
Young Men, while these young women are striving to be like this. You, yourselves, should strive to be worthy for these miraculous young women.
A Poem that I wrote when I was but 16/17-years-old.
A Man's Hands
How can it be that a man's hands can be so intriguing?
They're strong enough to hurt,
Strong enough to threaten,
Strong enough to kill,
But his hands are none of these,
It's surprising to know that his hands are soft,
Soft enough to cradle a sleeping baby,
Caring enough to stop my flowing tears,
Loving enough to guide me through this wicked world,
How surprising it is, what a man's hands can do,
But it all depends on who those hands belong to.
