Journaling (At first, I wasn't going to copy out the journaling, but maybe it will do someone some good, so here it is. Some of you may remember that several months ago I created a couple of layouts about bullying. This is an on-going issue, and it is spelled out in the journaling, for better or for worse. Besides ignoring her, the girls leave nasty notes tucked into their front door, as well as other mean things.):
So hard to believe this sweet little 10-year-old is the victim of persecution. But it is true. Her family does not attend the church that the overwhelming majority in her neighborhood and school do. So the girls in her class and neighborhood ignore Avery because she is not one of "them." The girls were friendly when the Bouchers first moved in, but now they walk past her, even when she says "hi," as if she weren't there. This is extra sad because Avery is such a social little thing. She yearns for girlfriends.It seems the world will never know the end of religious persecution, but what a shame it has to begin at such a young age. Her own faith, and the prayers of those who love Avery, sustain her.
