Step up and be brave... The fear subsides when you face it. Don't feed it, and you can't ignore it either. Stand firm and then Walk through it. God will strengthen you with His presence and give you the courage you need for the situation at hand. I am a living witness of His presence and fortitude at work. Courage is not the absence of fear; it is the ability to face fear and do what has to be done regardless. I am stepping up and it is sometimes terrifying... what if I fail? What if I lose what took me so long to gain? You bet, I've asked that. Well so what?! And so what if I fail... Then I move on and get up and go again. The real failure is if I give up too soon... If I give up, I have already failed myself. So don't fail yourself. Press on. Face the challenge or fear that's been holding you back from becoming your better self. You will never know who you are and how great you are until you build that muscle called courage. I don't feel brave --- but I am courageous and face my fears time and time again. I want to not have to always be the strong one. God knows my weaknesses and sends me help in a present time of need. He is my rock, my fortress. In God I place my faith, for He is my All. Mankind can let you down, betray you, deceive you, and abandon you... We all have faults and can heal these with love. God will never leave you. God is Love in its purest form. Ask God to give you Courage, and get ready for the best to be revealed in you.

The wind blew my pilot light out, but my inner light has been restored through the kindness of God's people. When inconvenience threatens to sour my day, I am reminded that it's not about me. It is an opportunity to share God's love and grace... Sometimes even without words.
