But I do my best to remember that God can help me tackle this challenge. But when I read, the letters get mixed up, and sometimes it looks like another language to me. I do admit that I have a challenge I don’t like to talk about- reading. But give me a pair of bro ken-in jeans, a T -shirt, and a good group of friends, and I’m happier than a homecoming queen. I actually have a girly sid e to me that likes to dress up and be pretty and all that stuff.
We even have a volleyball net! I guess that’s one advantage to living on a farm outside of town-plenty of room to play hard. And if it isn’t football, it’s soccer or softball. Every Saturday afternoon we’ re out in the yard playing flag football with our neighbors. Ready for a game of football? Yeah, I know I’m a girl.Ī nd girls aren ’t supposed to play foot ball, right? W ell, you haven ’t seen me with my brothe rs.
It didn’t take sensational abilities or outrageous events-just simple faith from regular people trusting an extraordinary God to do miraculous things. Story after story showed how God worked incredible wonders whenever His girls simply followed His lead. So when they all began studying how God used ordinary girls in the Bible to accomplish amazing things for His kingdom, they were blown away. A word like bravery was supposed to be saved for big-time heroes, not small-town, ordinary girls, right?
Hope, Honor, Glory, Faith, and Gracie didn’t see anything really spectacular about their lives. Well, that’s what the girls in our church youth group thought at first too. No real need for bravery around here, you might think. No, you are just you, doing your school thing, going to church, and having fun with hobbies and friends. After all, it’s not likely that you’ve rescued someone from a burning building or saved someone from drowning (you know, all those heroic acts you’ve seen someone do on TV that everyone calls “brave”). If you had to name the top five bravest people you know, who would make the list? Maybe your mom or dad? A pastor? A teacher? A friend? You?Ĭhances are, you’ve probably never thought of yourself as brave.
