Courage Journal #9

Sometimes courage is all about having the confidence to go out on a limb and do something no one else will do. I believe a lot of people have great ideas...in fact, I have one friend who has hundred of incredible, world-changing ideas. His big problem, however, is that he never does anything with them.

Tonight I got together with a bunch of guys from my church who are in the young married's group I lead. We were just hanging out when someone brought up this great idea for developing better leadership in church circles. The problem is that if no one is willing to do anything with the idea it will die and the conversation was wasted.

I am going to do something about this. I am going to have the courage to take it to the pastoral staff and suggest it. I believe it is a good idea and is important enough that it needs to be heard. This particular idea is not all that revolutionary or scary to share, but I hope thinking about this inspires me to act in other situations as well.
