Look for brave.
There is a lot to be said for cheering each other on. I've witnessed it the most recently in my Plunder business; whatever goal our sisters reach whether big or small, they are being cheered on by the entire company. Our sisters in Christ should be no different.
When you see a sister step out in faith and be brave, she needs to hear that cheer more than ever. Sister, you were brave and God sees you. I come from generations of strong women on my mom's side of the family; just like the women before her, my mom is no different. I watch her take care of my dad, and even on his worst days, she grits her teeth and does what needs to be done. Hell, it takes guts to raise 6 kids on one income but she and Daddy did it and I think they would do it all over again if given the choice... I think...
I'm pretty sure my mom is where my sister got her grit and strength from, because she fought for 11 years during her battle with cancer and not once did I ever hear her complain and voice defeat. She would always stand strong and say "if it's God's will, I will overcome this."
There are many other women out there that I see quietly going through struggles of their own and not backing down. Being brave isn't just the big things you do as much as it is all those little decisions you make on the daily. Deciding to wake up at 6 am instead of 7 am. Choosing to take your kids to school every morning just so you can spend more time with them and make memories. Deciding to walk out in the rain any way because you know it's good for you rather than staying indoors and not getting your workout in.
Those little things you see just may inspire someone around you to be brave also
