“Being courageous isn't about being unafraid.

Courage comes when we choose to trust God more than our fears.”

- Renee Swope

If you know me, you'd know I love color! The brighter, the better!

Even when I'm trying to go for the classic look, I still can't resist adding color to any outfit! But you have to admit though, black and yellow is a bold and beautiful combination!

Speaking of being bold, let's talk about that for a moment...

We may not even know it, but oftentimes, we live in fear. For some, it's very glaring; but for most of us, it's subtle. So subtle that we may not even recognize it, but our actions give us away. We say we believe God's plan for us, but we don't walk accordingly.

One major fear many of us have, is fear of the unknown. "If I do this, then what?" When we can't logically figure out the subsequent events, we decide, in fear, to stay where we are. God clearly tells us to make a move, but we refuse to step out in faith.

Since she could jump, my now 4-year-old daughter can stand on the edge of the bed, and as long as me or my hubby are standing right there, she jumps off without a moment's thought. WHY? Because she knows we are capable of catching her.

She's getting a little older now, and I can see her analyzing the jump: her trajectory, the distance, her footing, etc... but she still jumps. I'm sure there will come a time when she wouldn't even consider it!

We need to let go of fear, and develop such child-like faith, where, without thinking twice, we jump when God says so, because we know that He is more than able to catch us.

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."
- Joshua 1:9 (NIV)

It's a command! Be bold! Be courageous! Because God is with you!

Enjoy your weekend and have a blessed week ahead!
