FBC Eufaula girl holds to faith during pageant

What would be your answer if asked, “What is one thing you would want people to know about you if they did not know anything else?”

For Miss Teen Alabama-World Elizabeth Beasley, it would be an unhesitating “I want everyone to know that I am a Christian. I am nothing without God, but I am everything that I am because of Him.”

And that was just the answer she gave during the final competition of the Miss Teen United States-World Pageant July 10 in Houston.

“Before the final competition Friday night, I told God that if it was His will for me to be Miss Teen United States-World, then I really wanted the title. I prayed that every time they narrowed us down,” said Beasley, a member of First Baptist Church, Eufaula.

Beasley was awarded fourth runner-up in the competition. But more than the glory of the title, “this experience showed me how powerful God really is and that He does answer prayers,” she said.
