take courage (and avoid pollen)

March! The month of courage! Birds are singing! Grass is growing! Kids are running around outside! And I’m sneezing.

It’s been a long month. As in influenza, strep, and turning eighteen long.
 
But as I said. The month of courage. Check out these five words of awesomeness:
                        
                         “Never regret acts of courage.”
                         ----Hope Ann (in The Stealthmaster’s Shadow)
 
Writing is one of those things that calls courage out of us. Only we often think we have none to give.
 
For me, I sent a book off for editing this month that probably slapped my readers from way out of left field. It’s nothing like what I usually write. What if they didn’t like it? But you know what? I’ve actually been getting good feedback.
 
So what writing (or non-writing) adventure is calling your courage? Just because the month of courage is almost over doesn’t mean our courage has to end with it.

“Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.” (Psalm 27:14)
 
“When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.” (Proverbs 4:12)
 
“These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)
