FCA Huddle Pictures Tuesday, February 1, 2011
Dearest FCA Parents,
We must start by saying you have amazing kids!! Last Tuesday three students from our FCA Leadership team courageously stood before their peers of approximately 550 plus students and shared from their hearts of 3 very different life altering challenges they have each faced in the last two years. Please read the following 3 re-caps as each is unique and powerful:
Sarah Campbell (Junior): Spoke of the day she received the news that her mother was diagnosed with Breast Cancer her sophomore year of high school. Sarah candidly expressed the fear she felt and anger toward God she was battling as she witnessed her mother endure harsh medical treatments. Although Sarah didn’t understand why this was happening to her family, she relied on her faith, the love and support of Christian friends, family and the Northwood community as her family was provided with meals and endless support during this very difficult time. In closing, Sarah, emphasized the importance of owning your own faith and knowing what you believe. She received a loud applause as she happily shared her mother is now cancer free. Praise God!!!
Emma Adams (Junior): Emma shared of the extreme confidence she had in herself as a young child. She believed she was smart, beautiful, and felt she was in touch with her inner- princess. In Junior high she felt her confidence was shattered by a very uncomfortable awkward stage. Emma was bullied and lost confidence in herself and what she knew to be true. As she battled self-worth issues she was wise enough to draw from Biblical truth and realized inner beauty and Christ confidence is unfading and more attractive. She referred to several Scripture versus to encourage other girls to do the same. Emma is a godly young lady that exudes inner and outer beauty. Thank you, Emma!!!
Michelle Stukenberg (Senior): As Michelle faced her peers she paused with panic, but to all of the parents’ surprise, the Huddle of students began cheering her on with a loud applause. Parents, this was a beautiful display of compassion from our students that will never be forgotten. Michelle immediately gained her composure and confidently shared of her battle with an eating disorder that took her down a very destructive path. She bravely spoke of the all consuming power Anorexia once had on her and the loving concern and support she received from Christian friends, dedicated coaches and teachers, youth leaders and the power of God in her life. You’re an inspiration to all, Michelle!!
