Girls Lifted Up
Encouraging girls to lift one another up & shine brightly in their uniqueness. We will lead them through the Bible with practical life application.
Our purpose & passion is to mentor elementary-age girls to be loving, faithful, and live purely for God.
We need to Circle Up ๐
Did you know that Elephants are one of the most community-driven species ever?
They also are one of the few species that are lead solely by females.
Once the males grow into teenage years, they separate and leave the females to be by themselves.
Elephants are also known for being fantastic emotional support friends.
When a fellow herd member is grieving or anxious, another elephant will comfort her and calm her down.
In elephant herds, the females are known to stay close to each other and help take care of one anotherโs young calves.
Even more intriguing, when an elephant has a baby, the females form a circle around her. They provide physical support, encouragement, and protection. When predators lurk nearby, elephants will similarly circle up and protect any of their weaker herd members, hurt elephants, or easily targeted young calves.
The picture below is an actual image of Elephants circling around a herd member that is having a baby.
How great would it be if we had our own circles? If we were willing to support each other in times of need? Having other female friendships are so critically important, even the elephants know!
I hear it too often...
"I just can handle other girls, it's too much drama."
"other girls just don't like me."
And although that may be true, I can assure you that God has a group of girls out there waiting for you to discover them.
Choosing to seek out and support other female friends can be such a beautiful thing. God designed us for community and to grieve with each other and to encourage each other. So why do we try so hard to fight it?
Finding a good group of girls isn't going to happen overnight. But I know it's going to be so worth it when you finally find them.
So I want to challenge you to practice being an elephant:
โข Welcome other girls into your circle
โข Support your friends the best you can
โข Make kindness your first line of defense
โข and always protect a friend when she needs it.

When you're being stubborn, you usually don't care what the other has to say or what they believe, because you're not going to change.ย โฃ
โฃ
โฃPeople like to get creative with the term โStubbornโ. I have been told that I was stubborn for not participating in something others wanted me to do, or setting boundaries that made others uncomfortable. This is more commonly known as Peer Pressure.ย โฃ
โฃ
But being rooted means that you are confident in your beliefs and values and boundaries. You are willing to talk about the things you are rooted in and understand other's perspectives, but you are grounded and know you don't have to change your roots.ย โฃ
โฃ

โฃ
โฃ
โข I am rooted in God's plan for my life.ย โฃ
โข โฃI am rooted in my identity in Christย โฃ
โข โฃI am rooted in the values and boundaries I've set for myselfโฃ
โข โฃAnd ultimately, I am rooted in the Bible.ย โฃ
โฃ
Think about a tree. The roots of the tree are confidently stable deep inside the ground. The tree does not apologize if you don't like its roots. The tree knows that it needs those things to survive.ย โฃ
โฃ
โฃYou would never hear someone say, โThat tree is so stubborn for having a root system that keeps it aliveโ.ย โฃ
โฃ
Because the tree needs that to survive. It thrives off of its roots, and if you cut them up, the tree will die.ย โฃ
โฃ
It's the same thing for your beliefs and boundaries. If you don't have those roots, you could get in a lot of trouble and harm yourself or others.ย โฃ
โฃ
So what do you want to be rooted in?ย โฃ
โฃ
I want to be rooted in the Bible.
You can be rooted in all sorts of things from worldly opinions to stances on really important things like friendship, marriage, money, The Bible, or politics.ย ย โฃ
โฃ
The next time someone says you're stubborn for standing up for your beliefs, remember that you need to be rooted in those things for the benefit of you. Not to please others. โฃ

The ONE thing that makeup can not cover-up
Is an ugly heart.ย
Dear one, people won't always remember what you look like or what you were wearing, but they will always remember how you made them feel. So here is a list of dos and don't to ensure your heart is as beautiful as you are.ย
DO NOT bully othersย
DO be kindย
DO NOT gossip
DO compliment. Encouraging words are rarely forgotten.ย
DO NOT be greedy
DO share your blessings with othersย
DO NOT boast or brag about yourselfย
DO be confident in a way that glorifies God. Quiet confidence screams louder than an arrogant spirit.ย
Makeup, jewelry, pretty clothes, and glittery shoes are awesome, but they can never cover up an ugly heart. When you have a kind, loving, confident spirit that glorifies God, that is truly beautiful.ย
Also, enjoy this super old pic of me and my best friend Paige lol.

Hey GLU Moms! We are currently creating fun stuff for this week that will hopefully inspire and encourage you and your girls. Are there any specific topics you would like to see or watch us speak on? Let us know down below!
When You Miss Your Own Finish Line...
In this weeks IGTV video, we talked about stopping comparison and enjoying our own blessings with gratitude.
Here is a small peak into the contents of the video...
When I was little, I ran a lot of small races for fun. Now, one of the biggest things they tell you is to watch the finish line, not the other runners. They say that because it is incredibly easy to be so focused on the competition, that you totally forget about your finish line.
I have certainly had times in my life where I was so focused on the competitors that I forgot to think about my own finish line.ย
We can spend so much time comparing what the other person has that we totally miss the opportunity to enjoy our own blessings and gifts from God.
Or even worse, we can tear down the competition so we feel like we are bigger and better than them.ย
The next time you are struggling with comparison, I want you to ask them for help.ย
When you start to grumble out of jealousy, count your blessings. Find 5 things around you that you can be grateful for.ย ย
You need to OWN what God gave you with a confident mindset and a humble heart.
God has given you something so unique and he has so many wonderful ways for you to use it.ย
If you're enjoying, go check out our newest IGTV, "When You Miss Your Own Finish Line..." for more insight on this topic.
When did you start your Ministry?
This is a common question, so here is the official GLU Timeline...
2012: We hosted a small group of girls in our house for a Bible study called Polka Dot Girls
2017-2018: Athena lead a 5-day summer bible study for a group of girls that quickly outgrew our house!
2019: Brainstorming and creating our future ministryย
2020: We launched our website, Girlsliftedup.com alongside our social media
2021: LOTS of surprises to come...
THE STORY:
We started way back in da day with a small group of my friends. It flew by and we didn't want it to stop.
Life got busy and we didn't do another one until around 2017. That's when I (Athena) decided to pick the books up and lead a 5-day summer Bible study myself with a close friend of mine.
The attendance we got those two years still blows my mind!
We quickly outgrew our home space and planned on doing the next Bible study at our church, but COVID-19 had other ideas.
Quarantine became go-time as we put the final bows on our website and launched it into the world on June 1st.ย
We planted this ministry in hope of inspiring and encouraging young girls to embrace their uniqueness and lead with impact as God has designed them to.
I want to teach every young girl the diamond analogy that I mentioned in last week's IGTV. I want girls to feel empowered through each other, and ultimately, Jesus.ย
For more insight and details on how our ministry began, go to our last IGTV. I shared our story alongside some personal things about myself.ย
โค๏ธ #2020 ๐
"Donโt let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity."
(1 Timothy 4:12)
As young girls, we are called to set an example of Christ to the Church and to the world, not to shy away and sit back. We ought to voice out our faith and preach the true gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. We must conduct ourselves theย way Jesus did, loving others, being kind, faithful, and living by faith.
Remember Joseph (Genesis 37)
He was a young gifted boy, dearly loved by his father. He had the gift of interpreting dreams but he also had brothers and they didn'tย love him or delighted in the fact that he was their father's favorite and he was gifted. (NB: Jealousy) They were so Jealous of him, looked down on him because he was young and gifted. Because of their evil intentions toward Joseph, they did something evil to him(their own brother). They sold him to the Egyptians and told their father that Joseph is dead.
But the Lord was with Joseph and he was a successful and respected person in a foreign country.
The evil intentions and hatred from others shouldn'tย dim your light. There will always be people who just don't like you and never want to see you succeed but the Lord is with you and he will see you through the difficult times. As much as we shouldn'tย let people look down on us, we shouldn'tย look down on them. we speak good and only good because looking down on others is the root of evilness, hatred and can lead to sin just like Joseph's brothers.
Job 32:6-8
โI am young in years,ย and you are aged; therefore I was timid and afraid to declare my opinion to you.
I said, โLet days speak, and many years teach wisdom.โ
But it is the spirit in man,
the breath of the Almighty, that makes him understand.
Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite thought that because he was young, he shouldn'tย interfere with old people because they are wiser. The truth is, true wisdom is from God and if the Spirit of the Lord is within you, you are wise. The Holy Spirit does not dwell in age, so do not fear to speak the wisdom of God but set an example to all believers.

What's Your First Line Of Defense?ย
Is it anger?ย
Frustration?ย
Isolation?ย
Or is it kindness?ย
"God has chosen you and made you his holy people. He loves you. So always do these things: Show mercy to others; be kind, humble, gentle, and patient."ย
~ Colossians 3:12 ICBย
God has called us to make kindness our first line of defense. To show mercy to others. He tells us to be gentle and patient to those who persecute us.ย
If you struggle with making kindness your first line of defense, getting help, and improving it is so simple.ย
We have the blessing of a direct contact line to Jesus, and he's always there.ย
So the next time you are wrestling with kindness, ask Jesus for help. Ask him for kindness and opportunities to improve it.
He will be overjoyed that you asked.ย
So what's your first line of defense? Comment below โฌ๏ธ
๐๐
The lies of comparison are endless...
But so are the truths of Jesus ๐
He created you so perfectly and wonderfully unique.
You will never look just like someone else because you are you own kind of beautiful.
So when you are struggling with comparison, think about Christmas lights and flowers. Both are beautiful but look nothing alike. They are both perfectly brilliant and wonderfully unique.

{Competition}โฃ ๐ฅ
โฃ
โฃWhy do we feel the need to compete with each other?โฃ
โฃ
The devil has positioned us in a place where we can feel that there isn't enough room for us all.ย โฃ
โฃ
I have often been tricked with the line "๐๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ด ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ต๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ฏ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ. ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ๐บ ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฏ'๐ต ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ข๐ฏ๐บ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฆ. ๐๐ฐ ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ"ย โฃ
โฃ
โฃBut OH is that a ๐๐๐. The devil loves to feed us lies and targets us so that we will give up on our God defined purpose, but thankfully God always gives us the option to run to the Truth.ย โฃ
โฃ
Have you ever felt this way?ย โฃ
โฃ
The solution:โฃ
โฃ
"๐๐ฏ ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฌ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ, ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฌ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ด๐ต ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ค๐ข๐ฏ. ๐๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฌ ๐ข๐ด ๐ช๐ง ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ธ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฌ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฅ, ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฏ."ย โฃ
~ Colossians 3:23 ICBโฃ
โฃ
There is always going to be someone better than you. But God still needs you for a unique purpose. โฃ
โฃ
If God has given you a talent or a skill for something, USE IT! Even if there are thousands of people who can do it better because God chose ๐ ๐๐.โฃ
โฃ
Because nobody can do it as you can.ย โฃ
โฃ
Dear one, God gave you a specific talent, dream, and skill. If God gave it to you, He is going to help you use it.โฃ
โฃ
God wants us to work together and love each other. If someone is better than you, ask them for help, don't tear them down.ย โฃ
โฃ
Admire the people better than you, ask them for guidance and help. God commands us to work together to glorify him.โฃ
โฃ
I have been a singer since I was 7 years old. God has always called me to lead worship and bring joy to people through music. I've been performing and sharing my talent on stage for over 5 years now. I still feel unworthy all. the. time. There are tons of people who have more talent than I do, but I still do it.โฃ
โฃ
โฃBecause God called me to It so He is gonna walk me through it.ย โฃ
โฃ
Little ones, if God has given you a dream, he is gonna help you achieve it. It doesn't matter if there are five other people who can do the same thing. โฃ
โฃ
You have something perfectly and uniquely brilliant that could help bring people to Jesus.

The best friends giggle with you, cry with you, and support you in your hardest times. But how do you find those life-long friends? โฃ
โฃ
Here are some quick tips for all ages:โฃ
โฃ
โข Love yourself first. When you own your unique, God-given brilliance, others will respect that, which is going to set you up for a successful friendshipย โฃ
โฃ
โข Make sure you are equally yoked. This means that you are both Christians supporting each other.ย โฃ
โฃ
โข Hold your friends accountable to God's Word. When you see a friend acting incorrectly, respectfully remind them that God has called them to act differently. Pray for them or with them. Help guide them back onto the right path.ย โฃ
โฃ
โข Find friends that teach you new things and show you how to be a better Christian. The friends who challenge you and push you closer to God are always keepers.ย โฃ
โฃ
โข Be there for them. Support them when they are sad, celebrate when they are happy, and pray for them when they are scared or worried.โฃ
โฃ
Your friendships are one of your most valuable investments in life, use them wisely beautiful girl.ย โฃ

โฃIt is simply being you!ย โฃ
โฃ
โฃIt is simply using the talents God gave you.โฃ
โฃ
โฃIt is also allowing others to be themselves.ย โฃ
โฃ
โฃThis probably sounds pretty cheesy, but I want to stress the importance of how important it is. When you are truly yourself, stop comparing, and stop judging others, you step into your greatest superpower.ย โฃ
โฃ
โฃBeing yourself is the ultimate power move. It brings you the kind of friends and leaders who want to be here, with you, with your ideas and talents, and avoids all the people who don't.ย โฃ
โฃ
โฃBecause why would you want to be with the people who don't love the uniquely brilliant you?ย โฃ
โฃ
โฃCan you imagine trying to sell ice cream to people who only like cake? It's going to be really hard. But if you are proud of your love for ice cream, the ice cream lovers with come. The people God designated for you will come. That was a bit of a silly comparison so here's a deeper one:โฃ
โฃ
โฃWhen you are proud of how bright your light shines and you are confident in your uniqueness, you will attract people who will appreciate your light and uniqueness. You will meet friends who want to have the same bright light and uniqueness.ย โฃ

STORYTIME:
โฃ
When I was in elementary school, there were absolutely zero resources for me or my mom to use. Every devotion and study was geared towards late middle and high school. โฃ
โฃ
My mom had to be super creative with bible time and studies for me. It oftentimes resulted in me doing studies way too advanced for me.โฃ
โฃ
One time I took an Esther study with a group of high schoolers. I was 7 years old!! I learned, but it was awkward.
My mom wanted me to have a solid understanding of the Bible and be rooted in Christ, but there were no easily accessible resources for her to use to teach me from a young age.
โฃ
The few studies we did find were so simple it wasn't teaching me. โฃ

Do you love feeling productive?
I sure do! It's a great feeling when you know you have been responsible for small daily tasks.
This is the best way to gain trust with others. It also shows your parents honor by doing your best to take care of yourself.
The ultimate and biggest reward is in your heart because being responsible is glorifying to God and creates happiness for yourself.
Happy Tuesday! ๐ป๐

We are so excited and hope you can join us!
Bible Cheerleaders!! ๐ฃ๐
We love memorizing scripture by creating fun and joyful Bible cheers! We chose to use 1 Timothy 4:12 to demonstrate this unique method.
Shout out to Emma () for showing us her cheer!
"Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young. But set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity."
Record your GLU girl doing this cheer and tag us in the video.
MEMORIZATION ๐คฏ
This has always been very hard for me and the girls I've mentored, specifically memorizing Bible verses. Even when doing Awana programs in elementary school, I still struggled.
Over the years, we have figured out some fun and unique ways to help with memorizing scripture FAST.
Come back this evening for a special demonstration of our favorite way to memorize verses ๐
Comment below your fav way to remember scripture.
