Annie felt embarrassed. She was always one of the last girls chosen for the baseball team. Gym class made her feel unpopular, even disliked, and alone. She wished she never had to go to gym ever again.

But one thing made Annie feel hopeful. She attended a Christian Science Sunday School, where she’d learned that God could help her with anything. She started to wonder if God could even help her with her gym class problem.  

That Sunday, she talked to her Sunday School teacher about it. Annie’s Sunday School teacher had some good ideas. She reminded Annie that she was God’s loved child. God did not make her or anyone to be awful at anything, even baseball. But if that were true, Annie wondered, then why was she so bad at sports? Why couldn’t she be like the other girls in her class?
