COURAGE: 2019

is my word of the year 2019


to step outside the box
to be salt and light 
to give the gospel message
to begin the next phase in my academic career
to live my life as God wills it not mankind
to speak my mind in truth, love, and hope
to know that different opinions don’t diminish my own.
to resist the urge to give up
to act despite the fear
to persevere in my studies
to pray where it is needed
to be a mentor 
to keep on being a
to go where God wants me to go
to stand up for myself
to protect what God has given me
to accept what God says no to
to show love to those who need it most

Joshua 1:7-9 ~ GW
7 Only be strong and very courageous, faithfully doing everything in the teachings that my servant Moses commanded you. Don’t turn away from them. Then you will succeed wherever you go. 8 Never stop reciting these teachings. You must think about them night and day so that you will faithfully do everything written in them. Only then will you prosper and succeed. 9 I have commanded you, ‘Be strong and courageous! Don’t tremble or be terrified, because the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.’
