You are a success
First response to the above?! I suppose it depends on what you define 'success' as.
We looked at this with our girls this week. About success is not about what you do, or what you look like, or what you have. We are a success in Christ. We are a success just the way we are.
Who really believes this?! Does anyone really go about life knowing their are a success regardless of what they do, have, or look like?! It's a hard thing to do, but such an important thing to learn..
You are a success...
To make the point to the girls, I made them medals which say 'Eu sou um sucesso/I am a success' and one by one we called them by name to receive their medal and then they had to say 'eu sou um sucesso'...and some of the girls actually found this really difficult! I really think we have a long way to go for the girls to understand just how much they are worth.
We then had some party food, and the class room had been decorated - so it was basically a miniature party to celebrate who they are and that they are a success! It was fun...
I also got Felipe (who is an amazing photographer) to take individual photos of the girls, as next week we are going to make photo frames, so they can take their picture home with them wearing their medal, so hopefully they will remember they are a success...I also wanted to make them feel really special...
Aren't they just all so beautiful!!
I have spoken a lot about Beckie (who I co-lead the girls group with), she is also a really good friend of mine here - so here is a picture of us two together...
