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.

#4, Extreme

Extreme wanders down dangerous paths.

Her blue lips symbolize a cold heart. She is past feeling. She embraces addiction of the body and mind and feels compelled to invited others to join her. She knowingly chooses destructive behavior with no care for the consequences. The spirit has left her and she has a diminished conscience of the chains that bind her.

Ephesians 6:11  “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”
