Sometimes being brave isn’t making a huge life change, or doing something wild and drastic. Sometimes being brave is hunkering down right where you are, in a certain place or phase, waiting it out, and making the most out of a situation you wouldn’t have picked for yourself. Soon-to-be law student Laura Theobald learned to give herself grace in the waiting. After losing her job and searching for next steps, navigating the uncertainty of unemployment, job applications, and interviews, Laura became determined to maximize the opportunity of a retail job she wouldn’t have chosen if her circumstances were a little different. Through that experience, she learned God had placed her there so that she could become the person she was designed to be, and she was able to chase after her dream of law school with renewed gusto. By mourning what she thought her life held, then looking at the opportunities that were in front of her and working to make her dreams happen, Laura was capital-B Brave in every sense of the word. * * * Take your brave further—get the 100 Days to Brave Guided Journal! * * * Share your own brave story! #100daystobrave #storiesfrom100daystobrave
