Theme: BE COURAGEOUS
From Scripture:
‘Then David said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous and do it. Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed, for the Lord God, even my God, is with you. He will not leave you or forsake you, until all the work for the service of the house of the Lord is finished.’ – 1 Chronicles 28:20
‘For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.’ – 2 Timothy 1:7
Quote for the week:
“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it.” Nelson Mandela
What does the notion of being courageous mean to you?
- It means having a voice for myself and being heard
- It means stepping out of my comfort zone/box to be the best that I can be
- It means taking responsibility for my own life and to stop blaming everything outside of me for the reason why I am not successful.
- It means working to see that my educational dreams and goals are realized.
- It means recognizing the special talents and ability I have to offer my world, my community, my family.
- It means stepping up to the plate of my life and my future.
- It means Believing in myself.
- It means being courageous enough to stand up against my peers if and when the need arises
ATTICUS FINCH from ‘To Kill a Mockingbird
“I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked [beaten] before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.’”
