(IN)courage (EN)courage (COURAGE) I have been thinking about these words. (IN) COURAGE was the name of a cute little paper/gift boutique around the corner from the Starbucks I frequented during college. I might have been a bit obsessed with it due to the amount of pink, glitter, and stationary that they carried but lets not get off topic :) Encourage is defined by my buddy Marriam-Webster as: -To make (someone) more determined, hopeful, or confident. -To make (something) more appealing or more likely to happen. -To make (someone) more likely to do something: to tell or advise (someone) to do something but being the dictionary connoisseur that I am it really brought me the idea of courage which Merriam simply says: the ability to do something you know is difficult or dangerous. I think what I am finding is we are called to be all three of these words. "Be strong and COURAGE ous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the LORD your God
