in Just thinking, Prayer, Quotations

Courage is the greatest of all the virtues. Because if you haven't courage, you may not have an opportunity to use any of the others. Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

I can sure relate to this one. It seems everyday is a new opportunity for getting past fears.

I never knew I had any fears until I had my first child. Then, it was like all these hidden fears came out of the closet. I was fearful on so many levels, but I tamped it down, and prayed my way through, to get on living.

If I didn't work through my fears, I'd end up never leaving the house or getting on an airplane. But I still go.

It would be nice to be fearless, but likely also an impossibility, so it's better to see this as a kind of courage, albeit not of the dramatic kind.

I have been known to go way out past my comfort zones. I still go, but with a lot of forethought and winged with prayer.
