What is Bravery?...

Bravery is fighting through the loneliness

Bravery is not always giant in nature

Bravery is taking the first step into the great unknown

Bravery is not always having control

Bravery, at times, is relinquishing that control for the greater good of the family

Bravery is enduring your trials with faith

Bravery is getting out of your comfort zone

Bravery is being afraid of what is ahead but still continuing forward

Bravery is a child facing her greatest fears

Bravery is taking your first step into a new school and not turning back

Bravery is a 9 year old and a 6 year old starting all over again

Bravery is Savannah and Madison Scott

Hope they have a great time, I'm sure they will settle in really well, but you are right- it is such a brave thing for them to be doing.

Even though you know it will in the end be okay, I think it's almost as hard for a mom as for the kids.

England Family said...
