“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” -Proverbs 4:23 In 100 Days to Brave, Downs tells us that God loves to love us. There is nothing, NOTHING that you can do in your life to stop God from loving you. In God’s eyes, “through Jesus, you are holy, chosen,…

Psalm 139:14 always kind of sneaks up on me when I need the most. It says “I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.” Day eight to brave goes back to Learning the difference between who I am according to society and who…
