For those of you who did not know this about me, I love homeless people. I thoroughly enjoy spending time with them, and believe it or not, homeless people have been a constant source of encouragement in my life.
Today, I was asked for the first time why I wasn't scared to hang out with these homeless men at the park not too far from my house. I hesitated for a moment, which was obviously too long because one of the men answered it for me, meanwhile paying me one of the greatest compliments I have ever received. He said simply, "Don't you see, she's as bold as a lion" and then continued on to quote from Proverbs as well as Paul's second letter to Timothy.
"The wicked man flees though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion." - Proverbs 28:1
"For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." - 2 Timothy 1:7
Just about 5 weeks away from leaving, I am increasingly anxious. Today, I was reminded of where my strength comes from. Thanks Michael!
