Hi, I'm Heather Feather

I love sewing. I love my family. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I'm married to my sweetheart and best friend. He supports me in all that I do. I'm currently going to school for a Major in Home and Family Living with a clothing construction focus. I love to sew everything and make my clothing modest. Because of my major, I get to sew all the time while getting classes about family. Family is the most important thing to me, and I love knowing that because I'm a Mormon, I get to be with my family forever.

Why I am a Mormon

I am a Mormon because of the hope and joy it brings into my life. Joy is to be with my family, and I have faith that I can be together with my family forever. This is possible because of Jesus Christ. He gave his life for me, for everyone, so that we all can return to live with Him. His sealing power has bound me to my husband and family, so that when we die we will be together again. I have felt His overwhelming, life-changing love for me. I am constantly amazed at His sacrifice and love for me. He has brought be up out of the hardest times of my life and shown me love, so I have hope for another, better day.

Personal Stories

How can your talents and gifts bless others?

What are you doing to help strengthen your family and make it successful?

I pray every night to Heavenly Father thanking Him for what I have and asking to know His will. While I am praying, my husband also prays kneeling next to me. Then we pray together. I feel this has strengthened my marriage immensely and has helped us through hard times. It's amazing to see either of us open up to God when we might not have opened up to each other. It keeps us humble and thinking of the other.

How I live my faith

A wonderful, creative neighbor inspired me when I was young that fashionable clothing can be modest but not frumpy. Modesty is important to me because it gives me confidence that people are looking at me and not just my body. It gives me true self-esteem. I know that modesty can help the self-esteem of women and girls. I want to inspire others on how to be creative, fashionable, and modest.
Besides dressing modestly, I love being a wife and hope to one day be a mother. I also love being involved with the women in my ward. I know that women can be a great force for good. Whenever I'm with them, I feel their goodness rubbing off on me.

What are Mormon women like? Do Mormons believe in equality of men and women?

Heather Feather answered...

Mormon women are just like any other women. They come from different cultures with different backgrounds and personalities. They have similar wants and needs like Non-Mormon women. Mormons believe that men and women are equal, but they have different roles. These roles help us accomplish what God wants us to. God loves both genders and has specially designed the roles for our good.

Mormon women are strong. Mormon women are sure. We are taught from the time that we are tiny that we are daughters of God. Many people question equality between Mormon men and women because we believe in the traditional roles of the family, the classic stay-at-home mom and the working father. It makes me sad that society has degraded the role of a mother and made it seem undesirable and less than an occupation outside the home.

We believe in eternal families. We believe that this life is the one time in all eternity that we are sent to be tried and tested. If those beliefs be true than there is nothing more noble and exciting than being a mother. To be chosen to bring life into the world and to steer that life to goodness and love is one of the greatest and most impressive things that can be done.

I am proud to be a woman. I am excited to be a mother one day. I am an advocate for education and self-betterment for all. I value the differences of women from men. All of these things I learned to do from my religion. If that's not feminism I don't know what is.

Why are Mormons asked to donate 10% of their income to their Church?

Megan Cosgriff answered...

Latter Day Saints(Mormons) donate 10% of their income to the church because the Lord has commanded us too! In Proverbs 3:9 it says, "Honour the Lord with substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase." This is talking about tithing, tithing literally means one-tenth, which is 10%. So when the Lord commands us to donate one-tenth of our increase(income) that is what we do. If you look at Malachi 3:8-10 you will see that the Lord is asking for us to give him our tithes (10%) and in return he will open the windows of Heaven and pour out blessings, so many that we won't be able to contain them. Wouldn't you want to receive innumerable blessings for just giving Him 10% of your pay check? It seems like a pretty fair trade to me.
