A modern day interpretation of The Parable of The Ten Virgins as found in Matthew, Chapter 25:1-13. It portrays distractions that can prevent us from filling our lamps with the oil of conversion: Judging, Noise, Extreme, Materialism, and Pride. It also portrays values young women are taught through the Gospel of Jesus Christ that help us carefully fill our lamps drop by drop: Divine Nature, Individual Worth and Knowledge, Good works, Choice and Accountability, Integrity, Faith & Virtue.

As daughters of Heavenly Father we are meant to shine. We are not ordinary. We are brilliant, beautiful and powerful. May this artwork be a reminder of the distractions and values of our time and remind us that today is the day to prepare.

“Wherefore, be faithful, praying always, having your lamps trimmed and burning, and oil with you, that you may be ready at the coming of the Bridegroom.” (D&C 33:17) Choose You This Day.

#3, Noise

Noise is too connected to things of the world.

Distractions drown out the whisperings of the still small voice.  She is in constant search of fun and is oblivious to wasted hours.  She accomplishes nothing of substance or worth.  She wears watches, but time is unimportant to her.  Her belts symbolize Satan’s grasp; she is unaware of his subtle power.    Her hair and makeup represent a life in chaos.

1 Nephi 17:45  “Ye have heard his voice... and he hath spoken unto you in the still small voice, but ye were past feeling, that ye could not feel his words.”
