As for me and my house, we will encourage courage.
We will be brave with our lives. We will be brave with our choices. We will dare greatly and go boldly. We will walk all the way to the edge of our fears We will try new things and constantly challenge old ones. We will interrogate our beliefs and update our habits. We will do the things that no one else wants to do so that we can enjoy the rewards that no one else can enjoy. We will work hard, and we will love hard. We will rest. We will look to one another. We will honour each other. We will allow ourselves to lean on others - even when we know they might let us down. We will love wholeheartedly, even when we fear our hearts might break. We will eat with gusto. And laugh with abandon. We will sing just as loud as we like And dance - even when we're not sure how! We will raise our voices. And also our eyebrows :-) We will pursue our passions. We will fail and try again and fail and try again We will nurture our gifts and talents We will forever be learning We will travel far and read widely We will argue fiercely and forgive graciously We will trust a God that is bigger than ourselves Even when he doesn’t seem to agree with us We will chase dreams We will believe in each other We will be brave. And be brave And be brave.

AuthorI write to lend you my courage, to help you find the words for the things the things you feel, but are not yet ready to say. I write to tell the stories of our time and to edify those whose stories I tell and their audiences. Archives
