Brave

Hi ya'll!

I never say "ya'll"... but today is a new day!

Anyway, I wanted to talk about being brave.
Personally, I can be a big chicken sometimes. 

BUT, 
I'm sick of being a wimp. 

I want to be brave. 
And we all can, if we really want to. 

Something that reminded me of being brave is the story of Esther. 
She was an orphaned Jew that was chosen to be queen of Persia. 

At first, she didn't know why she was chosen,
but she trusted in God nevertheless.

Later, it was shown that she could be used to be the voice of the Jews and save them all,

if she was brave enough, and if she trusted in God.

And she did.
God used her to accomplish his plans. 

It's amazing, really. 

I hope that one day, I will be as brave and courageous as Esther,
AND be used as God's helper in whatever I do. 


You can read the book of Esther here if you'd like: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Esther+1&version=KJV

OR if you prefer movies, I love this version of the story of Esther (I watched it today actually :P)
