It took awhile for some people to understand, but I always had the full support of my loving family. Moving away for the first time to face the unknown was the hardest thing God has ever called me to do so far, but it has also been the most rewarding. I'm looking forward to seeing just how far He can push my courage in the future :)Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09346416834605490808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095068418828488278.post-58421843887462399862010-04-05T20:28:25.477-05:002010-04-05T20:28:25.477-05:00After 25 years of being afraid of being baptized I...After 25 years of being afraid of being baptized I did it.

But I think the most courageous was and is being open to life, every life God has graced us with. 13 pregnancies, 1 death, 4 miscarriages. But the most courageous part is attempting to raise them to be good, holy men and women who love their God, their families and their country.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129372114193004027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095068418828488278.post-48145917749840206152010-04-05T17:32:20.536-05:002010-04-05T17:32:20.536-05:00Having a baby after loosing a baby (which included...Having a baby after loosing a baby (which included freak complications and almost death for me as well).....SO WORTH IT!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05229437870695385195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095068418828488278.post-45678751689288812472010-04-05T17:30:51.302-05:002010-04-05T17:30:51.302-05:00Possibly the most courageous thing I ever did was ...Possibly the most courageous thing I ever did was trust that I had found the right man in my husband, even though he was in the Army and moving to Germany, and even though my parents thought I was throwing away my life.
