My Love for Relief Society

There is no greater friend than a sister. I love my three sisters so much, but I’ve realized that a sister is not just a family member. Being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has taught me that.   

My beautiful sisters!

The Relief Society is the Lord’s organization for women. It is the oldest women’s organization in the world! This past weekend I had the opportunity to attend a Women’s Conference put on by my Stake Relief Society where we celebrated 172 years of the Relief Society. It was a great experience!

If you’ve been reading my blog, you know I just recently moved to Wilmington, North Carolina. When Justin and I moved here we knew absolutely no one. It’s not exactly easy meeting new people in a new town, but because of our wonderful church, we’ve been able to meet some great people.  

I’m a pretty outgoing person, but when I’m put in a position outside my comfort zone I tend to get shy. This is the position I’ve been in for the past month. It’s tough! I heard about the Women’s Conference every Sunday during Relief Society. I knew I should go, but I was nervous about going because I didn’t really know anyone and I hate going to activities by myself and feeling like a loner! I decided the only way I was going to meet people is to go to the conference.  

Heavenly Father was most definitely on my side because I felt anything but alone at the conference. I felt so much love from all the sisters I met. This is why I love being a part of Relief Society. Even though my family is in Florida and I’m in North Carolina, I know I have family in Relief Society and in our ward.  

I’ll admit, when I started attending Relief Society when I was 18 I thought it was only for elderly women or married women with kids. Being a young single gal in Relief Society and now a young married woman with no kids (yet), I’ve learned that Relief Society is for ALL women no matter what stage you are in life. I’m so thankful for the role Relief Society has played in my life I just had to write a post about it! If you have had a great experience with Relief Society I would love to hear about it. Or, if you aren’t familiar with what Relief Society is learn more about it here.  

Thanks for reading! xo
