A Month Has Passed

A month has passed since my last post.  Not enough time?  No.  Not enough words or thoughts to share?  No.  Lost my password?  No.  Instead I lost my courage.  I lost my courage because the voices whispered their familiar and I believed them.  They don't necessarily tell full, outright, blatant lies.  That would be too easy to combat.  No, they whisper half truths.  Ones that make you doubt.  "Did God really say...?"  For me, "Did you hear what she said?"   "Are you really that incompetent?"   "That means that you are not needed any longer."  "There is no way you should have took that step.  Go back to where you belong."  On and on the whispers could be quoted.  I am guessing that your list is similar to mine,  both of us prone to fickle human emotions.

So how to combat the voice?  It is to know the truth.  To take each of the accusations brought against me and determine the truth.  To have the courage to hold it, turn it over, examine it and decided what is truth, what is lies.  Courage is not the absence of fear.  Courage is the determination to move forward.
