Inspired tonight...

I've only read Melody Ross' blog probably 3 times in a whole 2 years; I was drawn to her blog tonight; and her most recent posting has touched my heart. I really needed it. If you look on her blog site her posting on November 4th was an answer to my prayers; so inspiring... http://www.melodyross.typepad.com/ the following is a quote from another one of her posts which I LOVE!!!

LOVE IS SO BRAVE

What is being brave?
It doesn't mean that you aren't scared...or confused. It doesn't mean that you know exactly what to do.
It DOES mean, that you keep going even THOUGH you ARE scared, sad, confused....
and even though you have NO IDEA what to do next.
BEING BRAVE
means that you stay exactly who you are...even when everything changes.
IT MEANS
you believe the feelings in your gut...and you listen to the birds and you listen to your heart,
AND
BEING BRAVE OFTEN MEANS
that you ignore all of the other voices around you. (except God's of course)
BEING BRAVE MEANS
holding yourself together when life seems to be falling apart
AND
when you can't hold it together, then....
SOMETIMES the BRAVEST thing that you can do
....is to let GOD hold you together...
to give HIM your pain, fear, confusion and sadness.
BEING BRAVE means
knowing that things will ALWAYS work out somehow
(AND being brave means accepting God's timetable for working things out)
BEING BRAVE MEANS
LOVING...
LOVING EVERYONE.
IN EVERY SITUATION.
UNDER EVERY CONDITION.
Love is SO brave.
YOU ARE LOVE
and
YOU ARE BRAVE
and
YOU WILL MAKE IT.
