UNDAUNTED
For a few very hard years this word was my mantra.
The word means
-undismayed; not discouraged; not forced to abandon purpose or effort
-undiminished in courage or valor; not giving way to fear
But the truth is, I was often dismayed by everything that had taken place, and I did battle discouragement. I battled fear and doubts. I hurt and was angry, and sometimes "undaunted" sounded more like a mockery than a mantra, and I was determined to be real about all of it in these posts, thus the name, Undaunted Reality. More than that, though, I was determined to live undaunted, not because I'm so great or strong, but because my God is, and no matter what this world looks like, He is the only reality that matters.
I pray I live the reality of Him beautifully undaunted.

Lent Day 16--Love in the Heart and on the Brain pt 3

Love is patient.
Love is kind.
It does not envy.

Foggy breath on the window and write love clear through.
Love is patient.
Love is kind.
It does not envy.

Legos on carpet, love connecting pieces of lives and heart.
Love is patient.
Love is kind.
It does not envy.

Paper colored with markers hanging over the sink, love in the suds.
Love is patient.
Love is kind.
It does not envy.

Love to the rhythm of a rocking chair, baby on chest, or chest filled with heart aching...
Love is patient.
Love is kind.
It does not envy.

Speak it, write it, type 100 times and know...
Love is patient.
Love is kind.
It does not envy.
