I got the chance to sit down for ice cream and a lovely chat with Holly just last week, and let me tell you, this girl is amazing. A lot of you already know her and therefore already know that, but if you don't know her, I encourage you to take the time to get to know her a little more this year and to pray for her throughout the year as well. You probably have more in common than you think!
Name: Holly McCoy
Birthday: October 29th
Grade: 7th
What are some of your favorite bands? Steven Curtis Chapman
What are some of your favorite movies? 2012 and War of the Worlds (hmm...someone's got a fascination with the end of the world) ;-)
What's your favorite movie quote? "Tina, you fat lard, come get some dinner!"
What do you want to be when you grow up? A mom. (Hey, me too!)
What are some of your favorite websites to visit? Facebook!
How do you typically spend your free time? In my room listening to music, playing soccer against the garage door, cheer fusion.
What's your favorite subject in school? Language Arts, mostly because I really like my teacher.
Who's your favorite superhero? Spiderman.
If you could have one superpower, what would it be and what would you use it for? I would fly, and I'd pretty much just use it to get to places. Oh, and I'd become friends with birds and migrate with them, too!
Where was your favorite vacation? In the gulf coast of Alabama with my family. We went surfing, fishing, hung out in the ocean on a raft, and just spent a ton of time on the beach.
What's the weirdest dream you've ever had? One time I dreamed that a kangaroo ate me, and then I turned into a spider, and then I ate a mango. Haha.
Name two things you consider yourself to be really bad at. Basketball and pretending to know something when I really don't.
What is Satan's last name? Figglehorn.
If you could have dinner with one person who is no longer alive, who would it be and what would you talk about? I'd have dinner with Doug Holt, and I'd ask him all about heaven.
If you found out you had one week to live, how would you spend it? I'd go skydiving, bungee jumping, and ride the biggest roller coaster ever. I'd give all my money away, too, and try to make an impact on people.
If you had a time machine, what year would you go to and why? I'd go to 2000, because I'd want to see the things that happened when I was a baby.
What's one thing most people don't know about you? I can be really shy at times, and I don't like telling people what's wrong with me when I'm upset.
Can you tell me about some of the most difficult times in your life? I took Doug's death really hard because he was the first person I've ever known that's died. It was also really hard when we moved to Kansas, because I had to leave practically everything behind, including all my friends, and start over.
What are some of the ways you've seen God work in your life? My Dad recently got laid off and we thought we were gonna have to move again. Lots of people were praying for something to open up here in Wichita and as it turns out, something did! We were so excited that God answered our prayers and that we get to stay. I've also been sick a lot lately and God's been a real comfort to me.
What are some challenges you face as a Christian in junior high? A lot of my friends cuss and drink, and are always doing bad things to try to be cool. Dating boys or just feeling like you need to get them to like you is hard too. It's hard not to be pressured into anything and to stand up for what's right knowing that you might be an outcast because of it.
What are some of the biggest questions you have about God and your relationship with him? If you go to heaven and you're supposed to be happy there, how will you still be happy when you know people are going to hell?
What's your favorite verse? Matthew 7:13 - "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that
leads to destruction, and many enter through it."
What are some words of wisdom you can pass on to some of the other girls in our youth group? Don't try to be someone you're not to impress a guy---that includes the way you dress. Be yourself and he should like you for who you are.
What are some things we could all be praying for you about? That I'll make time for God every day and not get caught up in the world.
