“There are times when God calls us to moments of great courage. Courage to step out and do what we most fear. Courage to forsake our own comfort in order to do what is right. Courage to love like our Savior…even when it means painful sacrifice. In those moments, our lives are defined by what we choose to do. That choice will impact not just our own lives, but others as well.”
– Miriam, Abandoned Shores
