How have I applied courage in my life?

Good Morning or Good Afternoon or Good Evening, 

this post should take approximately three minutes to read from start to finish. 

I have asked myself "How have I applied courage in my life?" many times throughout my life. It gets me thinking about how many times hat I have applied courage throughout my life. I would like to share some of those examples about how I have applied courage throughout my life. 

~ I have applied courage by sharing the gospel with some of my non-member friends while I was in High School. I knew that I can trust those friends because I am glad that those friends did not judge me for who I am, I am glad that they have always done their best to not swear when I was around them at lunch breaks, I am glad that they did not peer pressure me into swearing and God's name in vain, I am glad that they did not peer pressure me to go to their parties that always involves of drinking alcohol, and several of my friends really wanted to know what I have learned at church on Sunday. 

~ I have applied courage by saying "no" to a few non-member guy friends who have asked me to go on dates with them before I turned sixteen years old. I kept reminding myself that I have always wanted to date after I turned sixteen years old, whenever I felt ready to commit to go on dates, to go on date with guys who are church members of the same religion as me and who has high standards. 

~ I have applied courage to not let myself down for being born and still have bilateral hip dysplasia (in other words both of my hips are out of socket). I know that I have been teased when I was in school because of me having that condition. 

I am aware of having that condition throughout my life thus far has come with several limitations; such as it makes me feel uncomfortable for sitting down and standing up long periods of time, repetitive heavy lifting, and so forth. I always keep myself positive of having that condition because I know that it does not stop me from having children in the future, it does not stop me driving a car, it did not stop me from doing most sports in school, and so forth.

the promises of God." - Evan A Schmulz.

~ I have applied courage by leaving Australia which means leaving my family, my extended relatives, and most of my friends behind to move over here to Texas, United States towards end of July 2019 when I was twenty-three years old. 

Prior to meeting Jacob for the first time online and in person in Utah, I told myself that I did not ever imagine myself to be fully committed and actually move away from my home country to live in a different country.

~ I have applied courage to be fully committed into my marriage. I have learned so much during my marriage so far, and I know that Jacob and I want our marriage to last a very long time. 

I also know that Jacob and I do want to make it through this life together as married couple while we are still alive and throughout eternities. It takes a lot of patience with one another, a lot of understandings, a lot of supporting each other, a lot of caring each other, and so forth. 

Stay Tuned until next time.
