standing alone

I find this quote from Ritu Ghatourey so encouraging. Oftentimes we are afraid of standing alone, but this quote should give us courage.

The photo is a lone bud standing tall and unafraid.

Stand firm

I find this quote from Francine Rivers as a good reminder for us to trust in the Lord. We must always do all we can but we have to learn to "stand firm in the Lord."

The photo is a half-opened gold mum, standing firm.

stand for what you believe in

This quote from an unknown author certainly encourages us to be courageous! As long as we believe in what we stand for, we should not give up!

The photo is a lonely tree on the slope of the Cordillera mountains here in the Philippines. It sure is standing alone bravely!
