Brave.
A short word for a big concept. I used to think that to be brave meant to never be afraid. I also used to think that bravery was for other people since I had lots of fears.
I’ve learned that neither of those is true.
We are brave when we face a fear and take a step to move through it.
We are brave when we admit that we’re scared and tell a trusted person our truth.
I know a few things about being brave but I also know there is so much more for me to learn.
I’ve decided to challenge myself to continue to work through fear and learn to be brave by reading a devotional book that released last October called
Today is October 1, 2018. If I am disciplined to read and reflect daily I’ll complete this 100 Day journey on Tuesday, January 8, 2019.
Brave people don’t stop hearing the whispers of fear. They hear the whispers but take action anyway. Annie F. Downs 100 Days to Brave devotional
What will it be like to begin the New Year ready to live my most courageous life? What might God do with me if I’m more willing to say Yes when He invites me further up and farther in?
I’d love it if you’d join me on this journey! That would be so fun to have brave companions; maybe we can share thoughts here or elsewhere on social media. You can grab Annie’s book from LifeWay or Amazon or Barnes & Noble and join me in this adventure of 100 Days to Brave.
Let me know if you’re joining me; I want to make this fun!
I woke up this morning listening to myself telling ??? that it was important to be brave – to take courage in the face of fear and go forward.
And now, your email.
Brave is my word for the year. You can probably guess I need to be.
I need to do this. I’ll order the book now.
Yay Elaine! We can do hard things. I’m so glad to know that we’ll do this together!
Yours along the Way,
Lisa
