BOLD FAITH: High school valedictorian who gave faith-filled speech reveals motivation:
Lydia Owens, a high school valedictorian in South Carolina, has gone viral for a speech detailing how she learned to find her value in her faith amid recent hardships in her life.
Owens went home that night and"scratched my entire rough draft of what I thought I wanted to talk about in my speech."She also said,"And I just sat there and I prayed, and I was like, ‘Jesus, you just speak through me. Let this be exactly what you want to say, not what I want to say.’" She said of her mom’s passing,"It's so, so difficult. It's only been two years, and so it's definitely still a pretty fresh wound."
"People around me were crying," she said,"and then my friends are like, ‘They don't know who you are, but I get to know who you are.’"Through her valedictorian speech, Owens' brother was"able to have a gospel conversation with his co-workers," she said.
