BRAVE, a year of BRAVE is what I have chosen for 2024.

I’m not sure that I have been any braver now than in previous years. I am more aware of bravery and that even the little things can be acts of bravery. I have seen more ‘bravery’ this last month as I have caught it in my everyday.

But what the photos don’t show is that sometimes brave is just showing up, or even waking up. It’s doing what needs to be done instead of doing what I want to do. Brave is about knowing God is with me and that makes all the difference in how I approach whatever I am facing.

How do you define brave? Or maybe offer an example of bravery below?
