“Friday morning, Kylie, Miranda, and Della, each carting suitcases, walked the trail to meet up with their parents. They walked slowly, like condemned prisoners moving to their executions. â€œIâ€™m going to be peeing on a drug test stick every hour,â€ Della muttered. Miranda sighed. â€œIâ€™m going to screw up at my competition and my mom is going to give me up for adoption.â€ â€œIâ€™m going to a ghost hunt,â€ Kylie added. Both girls looked at her. â€œDonâ€™t ask.”

“God does not give us the spirit of fear, so I do not chose to give in to fear because I know that the creator designed us to win no matter what we face. When I am faced with a circumstance that in the past I would have been fearful about I turn it over immediately to Christ. When I learned this principle as a Christian, I became fearless.”
