courage

Be strong and of a good courage. 

Be not a afraid neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. 

It was no coincidence that the first Sunday in my new church in my new town my favourite verse was the sermon. God totally knew what He was doing. He knew that although at that moment I was  vibrantly full of courage, it wouldn't be many hours before fear would threaten and courage would be only the whisper of this verse in my heart. I didn't know that but i soon found that out.

Be strong were the words that prompted me to walk in front of the crowd of strangers, head held high, acting confidence I didn't have. 

Be of good courage were the words that inserted hope when I looked ahead to endlessness. 

Your God is with you wherever you go are the words that kept me brave enough to walk on, through fear. 

I have no doubts that This verse will be my stability throughout the next 9 months. I have no doubt that God wants me hear and no doubt that although this looks daunting and terrifying sometimes, God wouldn't have sent me here if He knew I couldn't do it.
