As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. -- Isaiah 55:10-11

Get in the Saddle Anyway

I have friends making courageous, in-the-face-of-crazy-big-fear decisions right now. On Facebook, I made The Duke my profile picture to let them know I know how courageous they are.

For all of you here who are
making courageous decisions
when careful ones would be easier...

I know you are courageous.
I see it.
It is more than what you are doing.
It is who you are.
And I am in speechless awe of you and your choice to live in faith, not fear.
Feel free to make it your profile picture, put it on your Facebook wall, your bedroom wall, or your fridge, wherever you need it to remind you that YOU ARE COURAGEOUS. And remember:

OBEDIENCE
WHILE SHAKING IN YOUR BOOTS
OR
WITH TEARS RUNNING DOWN YOUR FACE
IS STILL OBEDIENCE!

Hi Jerri - been missing you. I love that picture and quote. My courageous decision this week was to start on facebook - very long story - but I'm there and my goal is for it to bring glory to God. I'm still learning all the ins and outs of fb but will somehow get this picture on.
God bless precious friend
Tracy :)
