Whether she becomes a protector, healer, builder, or creator, she can use her gifts to share God’s love with others!

Excerpt

Who God Wants Me to Be

I’m Haley. I love to help people when they’re not feeling well.

My grandpa has a bad cough. I use my stethoscope
to listen to his chest.

“One day, I’m going to be a doctor,” I tell him.
“Then I can give medicine to people who are sick.”

“God gave you a tender heart, Haley,” Grandpa says.
“You would be a great doctor.”

I spin around and close my eyes. I imagine wearing a
white coat with a real stethoscope around my neck.

“Time to visit the next patient!”
