Chosen

Chosen is dedicated to helping 8 to 12-year-old girls live their lives in a way that is honoring and worthy of the Savior, Jesus Christ. We have often looked into the eyes of a precious pre-teener as scripture is being read, "The fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance..." (Galatians 5:22) and watched as they developed a blank stare. You can tell what they are thinking, "I know I am supposed to be loving, joyful, gentle, but how do I pull that off in my middle school while my friends are going out, going wild, going behind my back, going overboard and going wrong? What in the world does that mean to me?" If we were being honest, we would have to say that we have oftentimes felt just that same way. The truth is our girls can be all God has called them to be. Chosen will train them in Godly character and to lead. We will have a ton of fun along the way! We hope you will journey with us as we seek to know the One who chose us!
