And this phrase &quot;loving courage&quot;? Oh, so much truth there. Isn&#39;t this the only courage that really gives us hope, the courage that&#39;s drawn from His love for us and our decision to love Him back with all we have? May you, too, find Grace and Courage and more blessings than you can count on this road you walk with Him.Courtneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08019187519810116317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674016135108707034.post-14485743650356477072011-11-30T15:58:00.869-08:002011-11-30T15:58:00.869-08:00@<a href="#c4249467695160928787" rel="nofollow">Anonymous</a>: (might this be T?) You are right--it is so easy for this phrase of &quot;fixing our eyes on Him&quot; to become cliche and lose its real meaning. For me, at least here in this stage of my journey, I am fixing my eyes on Him by recounting His promises to me. When the fears swirl in my head, I speak out loud &quot;You are my protector. You stand watch through the night. You steady my every step.&quot; The enemy fights hard and we have to stand our ground in Christ alone. When the lies of discouragement, fear, and anger overwhelm, speak the promises of God and let Him be the focus of your heart and mind. Does that help at all? Grace to you, Friend, in the hard road. May He be nearer and more real to you than any of the fears you face.Courtneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08019187519810116317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674016135108707034.post-84792717099981669132011-11-30T15:52:05.353-08:002011-11-30T15:52:05.353-08:00@<a href="#c8578668323375187645" rel="nofollow">tinuviel</a>: Blessings, laughter, food, and family--yes, His goodness rains down and I am humbled by it all.
