“true courage is pursuing your dream even when everyone else says it is impossible.” barbie

yes barbie.  the doll.  the animated movie star.  this quote is at the end of the credits of her “new movie” barbie and the 3 musketeers.  we got it out for the kids to watch – theyre big fans.  and i confess i am too – i love the beautiful dresses and teh stories of heroes and heroines and the singing and dancing and the pinkness.  who would have thought eh. i’ve always had a soft spot for fairy tales and fanasty genre.

but i loved this quote.

“true courage is pursuing your dream even when everyone else says it is impossible.”

in my life my dream is the call of God.  the dream is the dream that God has placed in my spirit to serve and follow him.

sometimes it looks impossible, improbable, unlikely.

who am i?  just me.  just me.

BUT God has made me.  HE has called me.  HE empowers me.  and so i press on with courage, the courage and faith that he who calls is faithful to complete the good work and that he who calls calls for a reason and a purpose and that is HIS glory.  and so i have hope.

and i turn off the lies i could tell myself that i am not good enough, smart enough, qualified enough, popular enough, funny enough, spiritual enough.

and i just follow, eyes fixed upon God.

my courage comes from him.
