She puts on a brave smile, for the world to see. When all the while, it takes every bit of strength she has, just to be. Another day, what will she say? I am fine, no worries here. But, it is perfectly clear, worries abound in her life. She strives to stay alive, yet she wonders, when He will arrive, to take her away. Until that day, here she will stay,. Bravely putting one foot, in front of the other.

As I read this post - my heart went out to you, although I am dealing with whole other set of problems, I can so relate to how you are feeling. You have been such a blessing to me, I wish there was something I could do to help you feel better. Not only have you been an encouragement to me but you have also helped me realize the importance of us as Christians to be encouragers of others along our journey through this life. I will be praying for you today that God will comfort you and will heal you, Love you sweet lady, Lisa :O)
Your words remind me that being brave is not about faking it, but about knowing WHO to take our worries to! Thanks, Denise!
Beautiful! I listened to your video. So nice to hear your voice and see your face. Didin't realize you were in Chattanooga. For some reason I had Florida in my mind. Thanks so much for being a constant encourager.
You, Denise, personify brave! So glad I have the pleasure of knowing you {& your bravery} through FMF!

Come to think of it, dear friend; it is all we can do. Just putting the one foot in front of the other while trusting our Pappa God's grace.

Denise - That was just so where I have been and find myself sometimes. You have it right, one foot in front of the other, one day at a time. I pray for Gods grace in sufficiency for each of those steps. You are brave.

I have witnesses this same bravery in many loved ones who also had to fight just to make it through each day (many with cancers, a mom that had mini strokes..etc.). It's very tough and yet you choose to be a light to the world. That is fabulous!
You are an inspiration, denise.
you are so very brave.
Love you, dear, sweet Denise. Praying for you ~ {{{Hugs}}}
Thank you Denise for these beautiful words!
Tender blessings from Jesus to you!!!!

Yes, one foot bravely in front of the other
Bless to you for having the courage to keep taking another step. May God continue to strengthen you.
Sometimes bravery is just doing the next thing, putting 'one step in front of the other'. ;) Beautiful contented words.
Do you read my mail? One foot in front of the other...with the Grace of my Lord Jesus...I will make it.
Thank you for sharing
Beautiful faithful thoughts from one that has walked the path of struggles.
Your faithful positive attitude shines through those dark clouds.
Blessings and hugs!
We have all done this from time to time. I read somewhere that sometimes a leap of faith is the only mode of transport available. Indeed, it is.
Well said, Denise! Many blessings!
Beautiful.Are you the author of this one?I know you are good with words.I really like the "travelling" word's across your border,you're also good with computers :)
Beautiful! It is brave to persevere and trust, to draw on Jesus for joy in the trial. God bless you, Denise!
