"To live life to the fullest requires one to be brave. After all, life is an adventure of moving from what is known to what is new. It’s a journey that requires both courage and faith. Looking back, every life altering decision I have ever made proves it to be so…
Accepting that first dinner invitation from a handsome boy with the kind blue eyes; the boy who would, one day, become my husband. Brave.
Picking up stakes and moving away from my roots in order to start a new life after college graduation. Brave.
Leaving my career so that I could be available to my children full-time, even when the budget said it was impossible. Brave.
Starting the process of bringing home our fourth child through domestic infant adoption. Brave!
Every one of these milestones in my life required more courage than I can muster on my own. And yet, a refusal to step in faith, because of fear, would have denied me great blessing and purpose in my life. "
Won't you please join me over at InCourage to read the rest? I sure hope you will!
