"Helen.... how do you do it... well, I mean... take all that punishment when you know you don't deserve it, when you know it's wrong?"
"Well, Jane, because I always know that God will take care of me whenever I return to him so I am never afraid of that journey coming... fear would be disrespectful to my god... a sign of distrust, you can be the same way too Jane, strong in your convictions; just know that God is always watching over you and you can face down the entire world if you have to."
As Jane's friend drifted off to sleep the young girl thought about Helen's words, all she had to do was trust in God and nothing could make her afraid ever again, not the girls that ridiculed her or the adults that punished her... maybe she would be okay if she could just trust.
