5 Minute Friday




It's Friday again...time for 5 minute Friday.  Lisa Jo Baker  can explain it best.  But We are taking a topic and then writing about it for 5 minutes.  No edits, not knowing the topic before hand :) 

Brave    .....go

Brave is not at all what I used to think it was.  Braves was standing up for yourself and not letting anyone walk all over you, voicing your own opinion and making yourself heard.  Standing up.  But what I have learned over the last 16 months is that brave isn't that at all.  Brave is letting God direct your ever step when you can't imagine where you are going, being quiet at times when you want to scream how much someone or a situation hurts you.  Brave is believing day after day God really will do everything He says.  Brave is simply getting up every morning and putting one foot in front of the other.  Brave is kind, brave loves those who might just hurt you again, braves loves at all cost, brave believes God's promises at all cost.  Brave is not superman in his cape.  Brave is taking your friends hand and saying we can get through this together....

Stop.

  4. YES!!!! Bravery is letting God lead, guide and direct us. It is when we realize we are not in control.

  5. It truly is realize God is in control of our steps no matter what plans we make. There is such comfort in that, but letting Him lead takes bravery :)
