Blindly Brave ~ Day 26… Guest Post

Embrace God ~ Day 25

Embrace God ~ Day 25

Throughout this brave journey, the one constant has always been God. When we choose Him to walk with us as well as turn to Him in fear and uncertainty, we are choosing brave over everything else. It sounds simple, but we know it is anything but simple! The world is...

Triumph Over Fear ~ Day 24

Triumph Over Fear ~ Day 24

Do you remember as a child when someone dared you to do something in front of the other neighborhood kids? You wanted to save face in front of your friends, but your insides were quivering. Fear is a common reaction to many dares we are asked to conquer in our lives....

Ordinary Brave ~ Day 22

Ordinary Brave ~ Day 22

Have you considered how brave you already are? Did you think it was possible that you are brave each time you make a decision in your everyday, ordinary life? When we choose God in our everyday and in our decision making, we are asking for His direction. This is such...

Saying Yes Changes Everything ~ Day 21

One brave "yes" leads to more "yeses" that then lead to bigger brave moments and brave faith. Agreeing to step out of our comfort zone one time is a signal to God that we are ready for more. God knows when it is time to call us to more and it does not require that we...

A Kaleidoscope of Voices

Let God Transform Our No into His Yes ~ Day 20

Let God Transform Our No into His Yes ~ Day 20

I can remember times in my life when an adamant "no" came flying out of my mouth. I would rather kick and scream than give up my "no" because in that moment I felt justified that I was right. I am a grown adult and pushing back in the form of a mini tantrum is not...

Saying Yes When We Want to Say No ~ Day 19

Saying Yes When We Want to Say No ~ Day 19

Do Not Be Afraid ~ Day 18

Do Not Be Afraid ~ Day 18

Our brave journey continues whether we are ready or not. Many times it's not the way we imagined it would unfold or in the timing we feel our plan should be happening, but the bottom line is it's always God's way, not ours. Brave faith is a reliance on God for His way...

When Brave is Our Kingdom Work ~ Day 16

When Brave is Our Kingdom Work ~ Day 16

We have looked this past week at a brave that looks like standing still in a world that is always moving. When staying put is where you are, but you dream of so much more. Or when brave is changing your perspective to match God's for this time and this place in your...

Staying True to Our Calling ~ Day 15

Staying True to Our Calling ~ Day 15

God blesses each of us with brave faith even when brave is the very last thing we are feeling. In the staying, we become brave because God blesses each step of our journey. In our lives, we can feel we are going nowhere fast. Our lives are consumed by our "to do" list...

When Brave is the Life You Never Imagined ~ Day 14

When Brave is the Life You Never Imagined ~ Day 14

Today we are continuing to look at brave that keeps us right where we are. It is not the big step that is headline worthy or the kind of brave that has you shaking in your boots at the thought of it. This kind of brave looks ordinary to most and for others you would...
