Thankful Thursday - Courage

"Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgement that something is more important than fear." Meg Cabot.

I used to think courage looked bold, confident, strong and fearless. But I don't believe that anymore.

For me, I feel the most courage when I know something is wrong or harmful to someone and I need to take a stand and have my voice.

I used to be afraid to speak up.....afraid to say what I really felt strongly about...afraid I'd look dumb, and maybe even be laughed at.

But there are some things that are too important....things I can't stay silent about, especially when I see a terrible injustice being done, not just to someone I love but also to strangers. If none of us says anything, that injustice will continue. 

Courage - it hits me when I know something is right that I need to do.

Happy Thursday, Guys.
