Courage

It’s Friday. I’m a little sluggish this morning. I have my tea and my timer is set.

The topic for 5 Minute Friday: Story.

You know the drill….

No editing

On topic (although I tend to go left on this one)

Here I go….

Five Minute Friday: Courage by Dana-Pittman

 

Story

I read the prompt and I had to suppress a gasp. Story…

In my quiet time I’m reading through Acts.

And for some reason I’ve been stuck there for a while.

I keep reading Paul’s story over and over and over.

It’s amazing to me.

It has me thinking about my story, my walk.

Am I as bold…

Do I exhibit his courage…

Will my life be changed to the degree that I’m not the old me any more?

Then I recall that my walk is uniquely mine.

That I am special.

Love.

Adored.

The apple of His eye.

But I dare not hide behind His adoration without sharing this precious gift with the world.

My mind circles back to…

Am I bold…

Am I courageous…

Am I ….

 

TIME

 

Question: Do you go about your work with boldness and/or courage? Tell me about it.

    I am reading Bible cover to cover this year. And the stories in are always so thought provoking and encouraging to be bolder in our faith. Great post

      Cassi, I agree. The last couple of years I’ve read the whole bible in 90 days at the beginning of the year. For the rest of the year I usually study through the people, places, and stories that leaped out during that time. This is one of those stories. :)
