courage.

taking courageous steps while feeling like the cowardly lion...that has been my life. i usually don't think of myself as brave, but most of the time i choose to take action when God calls me to. i was reading The Dream Giver by Bruce Wilkinson today and a certain quote really stood out to me.

"courage is not the absence of fear...rather, it's choosing to act in spite of the fear."

God has called me to live an extraordinary life. i don't want to be mediocre. if i take steps of faith and through the world's eyes i fail, all is not lost. taking a risk by being obedient to God will only have a good outcome. it may not always look like it, feel like it or it may take a lot longer than expected but blessings will come.
