Plan Q

If you are already confused, don't worry. Let me explain. I like to stand up for the little things in life. For instance, the letter "Q." Think about it. There isn't a whole lot of letters with the letter Q in them. Quiet, Quick, Queen, Quack, Quark, (my favorite word by the way...) Just thought I would alert you to the letter Q and how it is often overlooked.

Today in bible we watched a documentary about a kid named Cameron Duncan. He was gifted with a passion to make these crazy good films. By 14, he had already made awesome movies. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with cancer. This could have crippled him, had he let it get to him, but he did not let it phase him, and continued to make movies. This time, the movies focused on his cancer, and how it affects people. They are really moving movies that almost made me cry. (Just been one of those weeks...) I highly recommend googling "Cameron Duncan" and watching his movies.

My Courage Journal is a two parter. First, I stood up for someone today, (sorry, no details) for my first part. Secondly, just because something bad happens to you, doesn't mean you have to let it get you down. Take Cameron Duncan. He had cancer, and still didn't let that get in the way of his passion. It takes more courage to do that then I think I will ever have.

Standing up for Q,

MD

Courage is overrated. Most of the time, it's just about stepping up and doing what needs to be done.

Read Matthew 16:24-28. That's where strength comes from. Not easy... but that's strength.
