Be strong and
courageous.
The Lord will be
with you wherever you go.
Joshua 1:9
This verse has
been one I have been praying over for a good four to six months. The women's retreat that I went on two
weekends ago used this verse as the theme.
The idea worked for me. Strong
and courageous women. I love the idea. In my fiction, I write about strong and
courageous women: Corrion, Kirzantra, and Tessa. Also, I strive to be a strong and courageous
woman in my duty to my country for twenty years of military service, as a wife,
mother, and Christian.
The strong and
courageous woman we read about was Rahab who hid two men to save her
family. She hung a red rope from her
window keeping her family safe from the soldiers. The red cord was our symbol for the
weekend. I gave a talk on Saturday and
one of the women made all the speakers a name plaque with the red cord.
I hung the
plaque with a gift I received from my sister, another strong and courageous
woman. The gift is a tree that overlays
a cross. She bought it for me while she
was in the Black Forest in Germany. I
love how the two go together. They will
remind me to be strong and courageous in my writing. I am so very blessed.
