In 2012/13 our theme will be Think Right: Win the Fight!
Think Right: Win the Fight! will help girls look at their thoughts and how thinking about what they think about impacts who they become. God cares about what we think because He designed our minds to be our control centers. Every word, action, and choice begins with a thought. To become the person God wants us to be, He commands us to love Him with our minds, and to set our mind on what His Spirit desires – whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent or praiseworthy. But it's not easy! We have enemies who compel us to have stinkin' thinkin'. When we rely on the Holy Spirit's power to help us think about these things, we will think right and win the fight!
Theme Verse
Finally, brothers (sisters), whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things. Philippians 4:8
