A Cheerleading Victory Like No Other
3 Mar
This is a story about how one unlikely girl fulfilled her dream of becoming a cheerleader. It’s really a story about hope, and love, and what’s still right with the world. The idea of “cheering someone on” is not a modern concept. Most people think of it in connection to sporting events. However, there are actually many ways and means to be a cheerleader. In biblical times, the Apostle Paul demonstrated his expertise as a spiritual cheerleader. When he couldn’t visit congregations in person, he wrote powerful letters [epistles] to cheer, inspire and teach the Christian followers. In one of those letters, he taught a young disciple named Timothy how to be the best kind of cheerleader:
“Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. – 1 Tim 4:12
A group of High School cheerleaders in Syracuse, Utah and a girl named Brittany Crockett have taken Paul’s instruction to heart. These young ladies defy every negative bias you might have about teenagers. Their story cheers, inspires and teaches exactly how to ”Be an Example“, no matter your age, or your circumstances!

MoSop,
As usual, your post was to the point and very inspiring! I have seen that video about five times already, but it continues to inspire me.
Thanks for what you do!

I love this video! I currently attend Syracuse High School, and when they made the announcement at the assembly that Brittney was going to be an honorary cheerleader, I literally started to cry. I believe we have some of the best cheerleaders ever at SHS. Not only are they extremely talented, but they are willing to accept Brittney onto their team.
Go Titans!
