Bubbles and Poppy floated side by side, excited.

“I bet she picked me,” Bubbles whispered loudly.
Poppy giggled. “You always say that.”

They drifted closer to the woman
who was sitting beneath the lamplight.

Bubbles cleared his throat.
“So, important question.
Who won?”

Poppy leaned in, hopeful.
“Yes. Which one of us gets the victory speech?”

The woman smiled and stood, remaining in the lamplight.
Not because she was certain,
but because she was no longer afraid to move.

She opened her laptop and began.
She didn’t have all the answers, only enough light to take the next step.

“What’s she doing?” Bubbles whispered.
Poppy shrugged. “Something brave.”

Bubbles sighed dramatically.
“So, we still don’t know?”

Poppy smiled.
“We don’t need to. She chose to trust.”

The two bubbles floated beside her as she worked,
cheering her on, as she stepped forward in His light.
