Introducing Drew and his big heart.

Let's meet Drew! He seemed like a regular kid at first glance, but there was something extra special about him. Drew had a heart that felt super big inside his chest, maybe even bigger than his whole ribcage! It was warm and felt like it could hold all the kindness in the neighborhood. He cared about everything and everyone around him, from his best friend to the wiggling worms after a rain.

This giant heart helped Drew see the world in a truly amazing way. While some kids might only see the surface of things, Drew's heart helped him look deeper. He saw chances to be kind, moments to share a smile, and clever ways to help out. It was like his heart had its own special lens for finding goodness and possibilities everywhere he looked.

The struggle with reading feels like a heavy cloud.

Drew loved lots of things, like drawing pictures of dinosaurs and playing tag until his knees were scraped. But reading? Oh boy, reading felt like trying to walk through a thick, grey cloud. The letters would wiggle and dance on the page, tumbling over each other like acrobats who forgot their routine. It just felt heavy, like carrying a backpack filled with rocks instead of books.

When it was time to read aloud in class, that cloud got even bigger and darker. Drew's stomach would do flip-flops, and his cheeks would feel hot. He saw other kids zip through words like speedy race cars, but his words went slow, slow, slow, like a snail pulling a wagon uphill. Sometimes, it made him feel small and a little bit unsure.

Discovering a secret power: faith!

Drew knew about superpowers from comics and TV shows. Big muscles, flying, shooting lasers – that kind of stuff. But deep down, Drew was starting to feel a different kind of power, one that didn't make him fly or lift cars. It was quiet and warm, like a secret glow inside his heart.

This wasn't a power you could see with your eyes, like a cape or a mask. It was the power of knowing God was with him, cheering him on. It was faith, and Drew was just starting to learn how amazing it really was. It made him feel brave, even when things felt tricky.

Faith unlocks gifts: courage, kindness, unique sight.

Drew's faith was like a little key he didn't know he had. It didn't make reading easy like magic, but it started opening up other things inside him. Suddenly, the heavy cloud of struggling with books didn't feel quite so big anymore. Faith felt like a warm sunshine peeking through.

With that sunshine came new feelings, like a brave spark right in his chest. Faith showed Drew he had courage tucked away, ready to pop out when he needed it. It also reminded him to be extra kind, not just to others, but to himself too, especially when things felt hard.

And the coolest thing? Faith gave Drew a kind of superpower glasses – not for flying or super strength, but for seeing the world in a special way. It helped him notice things others missed and think about problems from a totally different angle. This unique sight was a gift just for him.

Feeling unsure one moment, faith-fueled the next.

Sometimes, when Drew looked at tricky words or a messy problem, a little cloud of unsureness would float right over his head. It felt heavy, like trying to lift a big rock all by himself. He might even want to hide under his bed until the tricky thing went away.

But then, Drew would remember that quiet, warm feeling inside him – the one powered by faith. It was like a little light turning on, chasing away the shadows. He'd remember that God gave him special ways to see things, even when they looked all jumbled up.

With that light shining, the heavy cloud would lift, and Drew wouldn't feel so alone or scared anymore. Suddenly, he felt ready to try, ready to use his unique gifts. That little bit of faith made him feel super, ready to tackle whatever came his way!
