You make me brave.

I am always reminded as I walk this path as a follower of Jesus Christ, it is the small things that make the difference. We believe or look to the many big things, but if you would pull back, it was that one small thought, that one small step, a little note, a simple smile or kind word that made All the difference.
Through all the hype, fighting, self, misguided wisdom we plow through and even at times know or unknown cause, I believe we all buy into it at one point or another.


I wanted to post this because today I had one of those... "it Really is about the small things" moments. 



I posted a picture in the early hours of this morning before falling asleep. It had a 3 part meaning to me. 

• ​To celebrate and be thankful to all who sacrificed their life for me to be in a nation of  freedom and  also those who had to spend the time away from their loved ones or the ultimate of them laying their life down.
• To the many First Responders and their families who walk a line of service everyday and especially to the ones who have lost loved ones in the line of duty. Here where I live the reminder in one week losing two dedicated men. My heart and prayers are so pulled for the family of a State Trooper and the family of a EMS Paramedic, both doing what they loved.
• To help me understand personally no matter the path, no matter what it looks like, God is there. God makes me Brave, Strong, Hopeful, Steady, Mighty and Every single Good & Perfect thing that I am.

When I posted The Brave cookie I then looked at it closer and thought, WOW.... that is a messy cookie! It was either touched or pushed up against the tray or another cookie and it is not a cookie that you should be posting if you want to show the excellent quality or workmanship.
I didn't care what it looked like, because I knew why I posted it.

Even messy, crushed a bit on the side, it still was beautiful to me and it spoke volumes to me.

I am not hooked or even phased by Likes via social media, I post because I love showing my creations, but for some reason seeing just those few "likes" melted my heart.
I thought "They got it".

Sometimes even the imperfect is just so perfect. When you feel imperfect know you need God, there is no way you can do anything on your own. You need God to lead, guide and to hold on too.
No matter the situation or season of life we are walking in-the only reason we can make it, is God makes us brave.

I Pray for all who have served and are now serving, I pray for the Family of the Ky State Trooper and The Jessamine County EMS and I pray not only for myself, but for all that need to be Brave and like me,.. just do not always feel that way

I know God makes me Brave.

Funny way to put it, but....
I'm a Disco Ball in this world!
I can only shine and reflect when I position myself in His Light of Glory - God so wants to shines on me. All so I can reflect All His Beautiful Glory.......even in the mist of pain, sorrow and disappointment.

blessings,
Katie
