Thoughts for May...

(sometimes Kate Bowler says it best)

"Maybe, at some point, courage stops looking like bravery & starts looking like willingness ~ the willingness to face what is new without any real assurance that it will be good. I keep expecting courage to feel like clarity or confidence, but more often it feels like standing at the edge of something unfamiliar & choosing not to turn away. Theologically, it's a quiet kind of trust: not that everything will work out, but that we can step forward anyway. As Kierkegaard wrote, 'to dare is to lose one's footing for a moment; not to dare is to lose oneself.' Maybe courage for us right now is simply consenting to the life that is still unfolding. Bon Courage!"
