Being brave is not always something that’s felt, it’s just something you do. 

You do it in the face of fear, risky outcomes, and unknown outcomes. You do it when your enemy is staring you down with taunting statements of defeat. You do it not because you have something to prove, you just do it.

You do brave.

Because if you don’t something will die inside of you. You do it because it’s time to rise up, speak up, and let truth find its freedom within you. The hurt you had to overcome is hard, really hard. What happened was wrong. Acknowledge it, speak it, cry over it, but do not die over it. 

You’ve been hurt but you don’t have to live hurt. 

You do brave things because you are a woman who can kneel humbly and rise intentionally. You will find good people and in return good people find you. You’ll do brave until you become brave.

You will know what it’s like to love again, you’ll find your laughter and you’ll know deep in your bones that you will not waste all you’ve learned. 

Don’t wait until you feel brave, be brave. Your life is not a tragedy.

It’s a testimony.
