Are you not a valued daughter of God?
If you have to work on Sunday's,
Does that make you disobedient?
If you cannot go on a mission because of health or other reasons, or had to go home early, or decided not to go,
Does that mean your chances of being a missionary are eliminated?
F-a-l-s-E.
Every member a missionary
Every person a child of God
Everyone has varying circumstances
The gospel does not have a set black and white chart you must follow to be righteous. Yes, there are commandments you Covenanted to keep, but that does not mean God does not love you infinitely still if you do not follow them to the same level of exactness as your next door neighbor. Molly's life and Molly's plan and Molly's circumstances are much different than yours, so stop comparing yourself. Stop expecting other people to be on the same level you are and stop expecting yourself to be on the same level as everyone else. That is the beauty of the gospel of Jesus Christ-- the fact that we are all on the same path, just at different stages in an endless but rewarding progression.
So don't look down on those who are not where you are yet.
Don't look up and wish you could be standing where those ahead of you are now.
Just kept your eyes focused on the road ahead.
Keep an eye on your own path, your own steps.
No one else can determine your worth but you. No one else needs to reassure you of your infinite worth but God. He is the only opinion you need to worry about, and he is utterly constant in his infinite and unchanging love.
He loves you regardless of where you are at, and that is what matters most, so don't let anything else get in the way of that.
