Why don’t more young girls today talk about Ruth, Esther or even Mary?Do the lives of these biblical heroines have anything to say to our young girls today? The answer to that is a resounding “YES!”. These stories are literally drenched in the sovereignty of God. Naomi and her family travelled all the way to Moab to make history with a young girl named Ruth. And of course Esther rose to be God’s servant “for such a time as this” (Esther 4:14). Young girls can take comfort in knowing that God has a plan for each and every one of us. A plan to give us a hope and a future (Jer 29:11). In addition to sovereignty there is obedience and perseverance in how Ruth, Esther and Mary persisted in the face of fear and uncertainty. Commitment to the purpose the Lord had placed on them.

This Christmas as we celebrate the birth of our savior Jesus Christ, let us meditate on His nature and be guided by it as it lights our paths. Let us lift up His sovereignty, obedience, integrity and perseverance and lift them up as a model for our daily walk. There are none of us beyond the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ. That is what Ruth tells young girls today. She was introduced to God through Naomi and "clinged" to the promises of God (Ruth 1:14-16) of which she was a part. Ruth is the great Grandmother of King David in the lineage of Jesus Christ. The biblical accounts of these heroines fortify that we do not have to worry. We trust in the Lord for where God purposes He equips. So... What is God's plan for you? What will be your story and how will it glorify His Story?

There are many memories that I have, but I am only going to choose one. The memory that I share with my family and my friends, is the time I held my baby sister, Jordan. Now, I bet you guys are thinking, Baby sister, why is that a memory?” Well, I am gonna tell ya! You see, I was 5 years old when Jordan was born.

I was in the delivery room but behind a curtain the whole entire time, but was still super-duper shocked when it came time to go face to face with this new baby. I clutched my dad’s hand saying, “ I can’t breathe. “ He got a cup and said, “breathe into this.” I grabbed the cup and started to hyper-ventilate into it.

When I was cooled down a little more my dad brought me back inside. When I approached the room I saw that my little sister was already born. I asked if I could hold her and they laid her gently in my lap. The baby started to cry. I thought it was my fault so I started to cry. Of course you know girls, so my mom has to cry to.  I guess we’re the two cry babies in the house hold. Hehe;).

That is my precious memory!

Lights! Camera! Action! That is me, Sydney Liberto, at “Read All About It” Bookstore in Boerne. According to my family I did wonderful. I did not know that I was public speaking until 2 days ago! On the day of my book reading, I was so nervous I couldn’t even eat my Tortilla soup and I love Tortilla soup. Of course when I got there I was no longer nervous. I was surrounded by encouragement from family and friends. I learned on this amazing day that I should never be afraid of stepping out of my comfort zone.
