Don't Live in Fear...

Trust, Hope, Faith

"We have places of fear inside of us, but we have other places as well—places with names like trust and hope and faith. We can choose to lead from one of those places, to stand on ground that is not riddled with the fault lines of fear, to move toward others from a place of promise instead of anxiety. As we stand in one of those places, fear may remain close at hand and our spirits may still tremble. But now we stand on ground that will support us, ground from which we can lead others toward a more trustworthy, more hopeful, more faithful way of being in the world." ~ Parker Palmer

How I Want to Be

"A trustworthy person is one whom God and other people can trust to do the right thing in every situation. She's a person who can be given increasing responsibility, confided in with confidence, and counted on to follow through with the commitments she has made." ~ Marcia Ford (Essentials for Life for Women)
