Here&#8217;s Virginia:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing  faithful in the smallest things is the way to gain, maintain, and  demonstrate the strength needed to accomplish something great.\u201d \u2013 Alex Harris<\/p>\n<p>I was browsing through some material the other day (okay, I was surfing the internet) when I came across this quote. It struck me as deeply profound, and at the same time it filled me with hope. I\u2019m not one who aspires to greatness, but I am faithful. The  more I thought about it, the more I realized that I am surrounded by  examples of strong women who have accomplished great things through  faithfulness in the small things.<\/p>\n<p>One of my favorite people in the entire world is my Aunt Patti. She was ten when I was born, and I thought she was the coolest, most awesome grown-up ever. As a teenager she listened to \u201cdeep\u201d music, and talked to me about the meaning as though she cared about my thoughts. (Bob McLeans\u2019s American Pie comes to mind.) She loved to learn, and communicated her thirst for knowledge by telling me what she learned in high school, and then college.<\/p>\n<p>After college she worked at a series of incredibly interesting jobs, like prison guard, and police officer. She never lost her desire to learn, and worked her way through graduate school, earning a Master\u2019s in Social Work. Then she joined the army where she served for years, including a tour in Korea. I\u2019ll never forget my pride when I flew to Washington D.C. to see her promotion to the rank of Colonel at the Pentagon.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019d think she would stop there, wouldn\u2019t you? Nope. She was selected to attend an exclusive War College and graduated with a second Master\u2019s degree. Then she retired from the military and returned to school, and last year earned her Doctorate in Psychology. Now she fulfills one of her heart\u2019s desires and counsels victims \u2013 juveniles, rape victims, and veterans with PTSD. But she hasn\u2019t stopped learning.<\/p>\n<p>Next year she plans to enter Law school!  She is doing great things with her life, but not one of them happened  because of a single act of greatness. Instead, she has been faithful to  her dreams and her goals one small step at a time.<\/p>\n<p>The heroine in my recent book, <em>The Heart\u2019s Frontier<\/em>, doesn\u2019t  have the opportunity to go to college. The Amish don\u2019t place an  emphasis on education. The setting is the American West, where there  weren\u2019t many opportunities for women, Amish or not. But Emma is strong  like my aunt in one very important way \u2013 she is faithful, even in the  face of difficult situations that stand in the way of her and her  desires. And in the end she accomplishes\u2026well, you\u2019ll have to read the book to find out, won\u2019t you?&#8221;&#8211;Virginia<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/booksbylyncote.com\/SWBS\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/The-Hearts-Frontier-reduced.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3249\" title=\"The Heart's Frontier - reduced\" src=\"http:\/\/booksbylyncote.com\/SWBS\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/The-Hearts-Frontier-reduced.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"372\" height=\"574\" srcset=\"https:\/\/booksbylyncote.com\/SWBS\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/The-Hearts-Frontier-reduced.jpg 372w, https:\/\/booksbylyncote.com\/SWBS\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/The-Hearts-Frontier-reduced-194x300.jpg 194w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 372px) 100vw, 372px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>To purchase The Heart\u2019s Frontier, by Lori Copeland and Virginia Smith, click here. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0736947523\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=lyco-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=0736947523\">The Heart&#8217;s Frontier (The Amish of Apple Grove)<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.com\/e\/ir?t=lyco-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=0736947523\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important; margin:0px !important;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Well, what a story!<br \/>\nQuestion to answer in order to enter drawing:<br \/>\nDo you have anybody in your family who amazes you?
