Let's All Be Brave

I was invited by my friend Pamela to join a book study for the past 6 weeks. I jumped in without really knowing what I was getting into. As it turns out, God has used it to speak into my life in this season I am in.

The book is called let's all be brave by Annie F downs. The title pretty much explains what the book is about... Bravery.

Bravery is something I've always struggled with. And this past year has been no exception. Just dealing with being pregnant again brings enough fear with it. Add to that normal fears of everyday life and then my husband's work getting super stressful and crazy and being brave doesn't seem too easy right now.

I decided to take the chapters slowly and journal along with them and really try to let God work in my heart through the book...and I am very grateful that He has done just that.

Grateful although it has been daunting as well. Just processing each chapter and what God has spoken to me in my reading and journaling has required bravery. There are things I feel I am being called into that takes more courage than I feel I have. Thankfully, I know I don't have to do any of this on my own.

In the book, Annie quotes Isaiah 40:10 and it's so perfect:

"Do not fear, for I am with you; do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." (New American Standard version)

So, in ending, I highly recommend reading the book yourself. If you want to borrow my copy, let me know...although you probably wouldn't regret buying it for yourself.
