Cheering from the stands, social distant, with masks, no stunting, and no friends or family present to see you cheer a college game (your dream) isn’t ideal. However, this year our squad chose to PERSEVERE. Perseverance means having persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. James 1:4 says, “Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." James has instructed Christians to "account" for hardships as joy, because such moments grow our faith. Even when we're heartbroken over what has happened, we can trust God to use it to make us stronger. Why would God want us to label as "joyful" those terrible moments? Because trials test our faith. When we keep trusting God through the trials, our faith in Him grows. And, from God's perspective, our growing faith in Him is far more important than not experiencing hard things. 

Cheers to the 2020-21 belmont_cheerleaders for making a “not ideal” season one of the absolute BEST!
