I'm not a big fan of the Miss USA pageant (or any pageant in general). Mostly I feel a guilt-induced need to get a talent and drop about 50 pounds. As a result, I just heard about this little gem of a story about Miss California, who chose to speak her values about marriage in the middle of a hotbed of controversy.

My heart feels a bit encouraged when I hear stories of godly girls making good, although very difficult, choices. This girl didn't win probably because she spoke her convictions. She likely didn't even get the Miss Congeniality award. But she does get the "You Go, Girl!" award. God is moving and working in the lives of girls and young women, even in the most unusual circles.
I wish I could have been there to encourage her. But you and I can encourage our girls to make the same decisions--decisions to stand for their convictions and to allow God to use them however He sees fit.
What good but difficult choices are your girls making? Applaud them!
