We all have to summon courage in our lives. Whether it is the courage to walk across the threshold into toddler church without your mom or standing up for a friend who is being teased about her height. Or lack thereof.
As a mom, I find myself daily tapping into God's promise to be with me wherever I go (Joshua 1:10) and mustering up courage to face the tasks at hand ... parenting with consistency, saying "no" to E10+ video games, holding my tantruming three-year old, training my kids up to be nice. This challenging adventure called parenting demands more courage than I have within me ... but God's Spirit fills in the gaps.
Here are a few encouraging words regarding courage to build you up in your courageousness!
