When a single grain of sand enters the living membrane of an oyster, it causes the oyster conflict and irritation. The oyster’s reaction is to continually coat it with a substance called nacre, eventually transforming the grain of sand into a beautiful pearl. The pearl symbolizes deep inner change that now shines with beauty outward to the world. The Latin word for pearl literally means "unique," attesting to the fact that no two pearls are identical. You and I are like that grain of sand when we come to God. He receives us as we are, then covers us with His grace and refines us by the truth of His Word. Through that process, He creates something of beauty in us that, in our own unique and creative way, reflects who He is to the world around us.
Through each girls unique journey in middle & high school, our goal is to be a relevant & substantial resource. Thus, promoting healthy life choices that foster healthy lifestyles.
