Created to Shine

Norah is a small star in the sky who feels like she is not as important or as bright or as shiny as the other stars. But soon she will discover that God has created her for a very special purpose. And just like Norah, God has created us to shine His light to a dark and lonely world. We can be confident in the truth that He has special plans for our lives! Every day as she was dropped off at school, Addie would hear her mom call out from the car window, "Be a light in the dark world." As she grew older, she realized her mom's words were pieces of what Jesus said in Matthew 5:16, "Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." Feeling the call to go into vocational ministry from a young age, Addie later received a degree in children's ministry and currently serves as the director of a Christ-centered non-profit organization in her hometown. This book is intended to encourage children with the truth that God has created them on purpose and for a purpose. As you hold this book in your hands, Addie is praying the Lord will also encourage you through these pages.
