For as long as I can remember, the exercise of the priesthood has moved me. Even as a girl, I knew that priesthood power was real-that it really was the power and authority of God, and that it really would bless, heal, protect, and strengthen me.

Perhaps for that reason, I've never been troubled about women not being ordained...

Why has the Lord organized His Church in this manner? I don't know. But followers of Christ have always been required to accept some things on faith. Unanswered questions are not unique in the annals of the Lord's Church. Only the Lord "knoweth all things."

When all is said and done, as stated earlier, people of faith must have faith that the Lord has organized His Church according to His will, that He knows best what will lead all of us toward exaltation, that He is the one who determines those who will hold priesthood keys, and that He is the one who inspires them to use those keys according to His will.
