True Womanhood Defined

I am not sure when it happened. When women began thinking that we are not enough. Or thinking that we don't need men. What does it mean to be a woman? Is womanhood defined by our bodies? Is it being able to bear children? Dr. Logan Levkoff said, "I believe that being a woman is a state of mind and a commitment to social action. We act as a moral compass and a sounding board for partners, friends and family. We believe in standing up for what’s right." 
I believe that being a woman is all those things and so much more. The following clip is Elder Holland on being a woman:

He went on to say, "A woman not of our faith once wrote something to the effect that in her years of working with beautiful women she had seen several things they all had in common, and not one of them had anything to do with sizes and shapes. She said the loveliest women she had known had a glow of health, a warm personality, a love of learning, stability of character, and integrity. If we may add the sweet and gentle Spirit of the Lord carried by such a woman, then this describes the loveliness of women in any age or time, every element of which is emphasized in and attainable through the blessings of the gospel of Jesus Christ." 

President Faust observed that femininity “is the divine adornment of humanity. It finds expression in your … capacity to love, your spirituality, delicacy, radiance, sensitivity, creativity, charm, graciousness, gentleness, dignity, and quiet strength. It is manifest differently in each girl or woman, but each … possesses it. Femininity is part of your inner beauty.”

Being a woman is something I am proud of. Being a woman is part of my eternal destiny and I pray that I might always remember the importance of these things.
