Well, first week of school was almost over and Summer came home to tell us about her biology class that week. She was told by her biology teacher that you can't study unicorns, fairies, OR God. Summer respectfully raised her hand and told the teacher that you CAN study God!! The teacher said that that was her (Summer's) opinion. She said that she wanted to say something back but left it at that. If that kid is picked on for the rest of the year because of that then I’m okay with it! Her dad and I are just so happy that she stood up for what she knows is right.
This past week was the LifeBook saturation. The youth department at our church has been gearing up for this for some time. They started the week off with a rally and sent hundreds of students off ready to spread the Good News to their schools. LifeBooks were handed out at eight area high schools. Summer is the only freshman from her school at our church so she felt the pressure to get as many LifeBooks out as possible, especially to her class. She was enthusiastic and not afraid at all about the task. The first day was a little discouraging for her as several people would not accept the book. But as the week went on, she was able to give out many of the books and saw a lot of students reading them during lunch, before class started, and during breaks. We were so proud of all of our students for standing up for their faith and putting the Word of God into the hands of as many students as possible that week. What a blessing it was to see her live out Romans 1:16…
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes!”
I'm so proud of that girl. You and GW are doing such a great job raising your girls to live out their faith.
