Lindsay Mcghee: My Hero

My hero is Lindsay McGhee. Lindsay is my church and small group leader who graduated from the University of Georgia and now works at the church I attend. She has changed my life completely! She has many heroic qualities but the ones that stand out the most are, she is always there for me and my small group, she is always happy and knows how to turn a sad moment into a happy one, and she has open arms for everyone. Lindsay might be one of the most influential people I have ever met! I met Lindsay on a Sunday during confirmation at my church. Her sister was one of my counselors at camp, so naturally I went up to her and started talking to her and our friendship has progressed from there.

This verse says to me that no matter how tempted you are to do things, God will not let you go past more than you can handle, and that He will help you through it. I feel that Lindsay is kind of living through this verse, because she has faith in all of us. I really need this verse because there are many things in my life that I need to work on and now when I need help I can just look back at this bible verse. Lindsay to me is the person who has shaped me the most to become who I am today. Lindsay truly is who I want to be like when I get older.
