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.

    And what a great devotional it was to read this morning. Through the fire, we are refined and the thorn in our flesh reminds us to look not within ourselves, but to Daddy!

    Mizzbrizz, if you could have been here when she flopped down and her hair flopped with her, you would have rolled! Moments like that convince me there is a God because I didn't burst out laughing! LOL!
