In this style, we will be looking at your coping responses, understanding that through hard times, God refines your character so you will become more like Christ. While difficult circumstances are not fun, they do allow God to do a work in you that makes you more compassionate to those around you.

Week 1 you will be reminded that everybody has trials. God uses them in your life to strengthen your character, and help you to grow spiritually. Challenges also give you the opportunity to exercise your faith, and see God's awesome power at work in your life. We will discuss how important it is to let God's purpose be accomplished. And, no matter how difficult things seem, never give up! Instead, you will learn to build your coping responses on solid rock rather than sinking and!! You will be encouraged to exercise your faith knowing that God is with you and able to give you everything you need to endure through your challenges.
Week 2 the focus will be on your responses to the hard times you face in your life. Alyssa, one of the authors, shares about the hard experiences she had on her China mission's trip, and how she learned to let go of her expectations, and say "yes' to all God asked her to do day by day. She began to understand that He never asked her to do anything that He didn't give her the ability to do. We will discuss how God gives you wisdom to strengthen your faith through hard times and how He brings you through trials so that you will know how to comfort others.

Week 3 you will learn that although one of the most common feelings a person has when facing a challenge is that they are all alone, you are never alone. God is always with you. We will talk about how God's love and concern for you is partly why He allows challenges and trials to come into your life. He knows that those hard lessons will refine you and help you to grow to become more like the woman He designed you to be and to draw you closer to Him. Bible passages will remind you that God is in control and He will give you victory. Therefore, whatever the outcome of your circumstances, know that God is accomplishing His purpose through it, for your good. That is VICTORY!

Week 4 suggests a date for mother and daughter to celebrate your relationship, share what you have learned and pray for one another. An action point to apply what was learned is identified.

This is the ninth and final style that will help you grow into the woman God desires you to be. Each style looks at a different area of your life, such as beauty, fashion, and friendships. You will learn life skills and values through studying these styles that will build character into your life and equip you to make a difference in your world.
