Courage, Persistance & Victory

God seems to be swiftly making changes within the halls of my soul to grow in faith and action in order for my life to finally move forward. It is far more likely that He has patiently waited for me to finally see what He has had in his hand forever and finally take leaps of faith. So I am willing to go boldly move forth with God speed, wisdom, and courage and know that I will blossom by the path He is lighting. The point is to take the step of faith. "There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom". - Anais Nin. The truth of this quote resonates with my heart incredibly.

So blossom I will and just simply take steps of faith.

Susan Ashton sings this song called stand and the words have been writing themselves in my thoughts and (out of my mouth in the shower...smile) since early this morning.

I hope this quote and words to this song give you courage as well today and that the sun will shine brightly on your soul.

STAND
With visible breath, I'm calling your name
With visible tracks, I'm finding my way
With a sorrowful heart, I honor this pain
And offer these tears to the rain

In a moment of truth at the top of the hill
I open my arms and let go of my will

And stand with my face to the wind
With the storm beating down on this sacred ground
If I stand for the grace that I've known
For what I believe
Then I won't stand alone
No I won't stand alone

There's a new pair of eyes to embrace all I see
A new peace of mind and it comes quietly
There's a joy in my heart that you've given to me
And I offer this soul's melody

So I beat on my chest till my song has been sung
And I cry like a wolf at the top of my lungs

And stand with my face to the wind
With the storm beating down on this sacred ground
If I stand for the grace that I've known
For what I believe
Then I won't stand alone
No I won't stand alone

When the thundering voices of doubt try to shake my faith, oh
I'll be listening from inside out and I won't be afraid to

Stand with my face to the wind
With the storm beating down on this sacred ground
If I stand for the grace that I've known
For what I believe
Then I won't stand alone
No I won't stand...I won't stand alone
