My Word for 2018, Courage!

COURAGE

My word for 2018

I'm kind of even afraid to claim it

It is more brazen than me.

I've always been a whimp in some ways,

Eager to please and be liked,

I wouldn't compromise my principles,

But I'd do about anything else,

Just to be loved,

To be appreciated,

And if I was misunderstood,

Or hated,

Oh dear me.

All I wanted to do was FLEE,

I wanted to run away,

Not deal with conflict,

This is why I claim the word

COURAGE

It is my word for 2018,

I want to have COURAGE,

To speak anything that is,

TRUE

HELPFUL

WISE

or KIND

I want to have courage to speak,

My mind

I live a simple sheltered life,

I am grateful that I do not live in fear,

I know this is a PRAISE to GOD,

and the soldiers and servants

who serve year after year

May I live with

GRATITUDE

HUMILITY

and COURAGE

No fear

In this

2018

a sparkling new year

Well, sisters, blog readers, I will tell you more,

I look forward with anticipation and gratitude,

Hoping for more,

Most of my life,

I feel like SURVIVAL was my word,

Survive university

dating

work life

marriage

motherhood

Sometimes all of the above can be rough

I'm here to testify

I'm here to say,

Hang with God,

And He'll GROW you

Day after day,

All of a sudden 

It's done

university, check

dating, check

work life, marriage, motherhood, 

check check check

Done done done

Thank God for His growth

Now COURAGE is my word

May I in Him

Be strong, wise, and ready,

to speak

TRUTH 

WISDOM

LIGHT

for His Words to be heard

May I 

In 2018

Be ready

and with

COURAGE

His strength and light

In me, be seen!!

Courage, wisdom, gratitude, grace, charity, love, victory, vision, humility, focus, endurance, mission... 

There is power in every word.
