Quiz Time!

A few weeks ago, Holly's AWANA leaders approached her about participating in the AWANA bible quizzing.  Since she does a great job with her verses, they wanted her to be on the TNT team.  She was a little unsure about it, but after talking it over with her daddy, she decided to give it a try. 

You see, Holly has stage fright.  Yes, I know...  my child who lives life out loud does not like being the center of attention.  

Yesterday, our church joined others in the South Sound area for a little friendly competition.  Seeing all the kids made Holly a little nervous, but our team captain reassured them all that they just need to try their best.  And I told Holly that she was already a winner for even being willing to try. 

They did GREAT!!!!  I loved watching them realize they KNEW the answers.  But I am so proud of Holly.  She conquered a big fear today being up on that stage.  While she may still struggle with stage fright, she will always have this experience to help give her confidence to try again.
