People from my first home say I'm brave. They tell me I'm strong. They pat me on the back and say, 'Way to go. Good job.' But the truth is, I am not really very brave; I am not really very strong; and I am not doing anything spectacular. I am simply doing what God has called me to do as a person who follows Him. He said to feed His sheep and He said to care for 'the least of these, ' so that's what I'm doing, with the help of a lot people who make it possible and in the company of those who make my life worth living .Katie J.

About This Quote
A person who lives their life in fear is not truly living. They are surviving and fear will always be a part of them. Fear keeps us from doing the things we want to do and fear keeps us from loving freely and openly. But fear is nothing more than a disease that causes us to live in the past and in the future instead of living in the present.
True fear comes when we no longer believe in our ability to achieve what we really want and we become paralyzed by our own insecurities. Fear can lead us to ignore our dreams and goals and remain in a state of anxiety where we never truly live. So, when someone is truly brave, they know how to work with fear so that it doesn't paralyze them or hold them back.
A truly brave person knows how to push through fear and push others through it as well so they can continue moving forward no matter what obstacles may arise.
