Courage to start


So what is this Courage thing? In my observation and simply stated:
It is understanding that everyone has stuff in their life, but the difference in one's life is whether you choose to walk through the stuff or stay in it. 

Choosing to walk through the stuff of life is Courage!
 
A year ago, I knew I was going to Blog. I had a title, along with a subtitle. I took the first step and created it; but then got caught up in the lessons, the learning of life. Now a year later, it is time to write. So why a blog? 


If for no other reason than to put these stacks of notes, lessons, and thoughts into some form as a reminder of my walk - a living life journal - a gratitude to God's faithfulness as His daughter. I will share experiences, thoughts, ask questions, and anything else God brings to mind for me to share. For life really is God's gift to us to explore, to seek, to learn, and to develop. To be a gift in this world, as we serve and encourage one another.

Recalling the words of a friend,
"Karen, everyone is brought into your life for you to learn from them,
              and they to learn from you."

So therein, lies the ground for this conversation among this sisterhood of courage:
  
                         What are you learning? What are you teaching?
 
Courage:  the quality of being brave: the ability to face danger, difficulty, uncertainty, or pain without being overcome by fear or being deflected from a chosen course of action
"She showed great courage throughout this difficult time."
To be courageous is do what you can, and be confident that God will bring His perfect will to pass.  You are to do and go forward in faith.  You are not alone for He is with YOU!
