Brave Enough to Say Yes to the Coffee Date

Say yes to the coffee date.

Smile back at the girl who smiles at you.

Let your light shine

Be the one to smile first.

Sometimes being brave means stepping out of your comfort zone. It means starting a conversation that will eventually lead to a date at a local coffee shop. There you'll find yourselves swapping life stories. Those stories will unwrap the person in front of  that you thought you knew. Beneath the assumptions, you'll find yet another daughter of the King. She is living her story and basking in His grace. You'll be reminded that despite differences of the past, today your paths will cross. Today He will hold you both and say, "You are mine.". That joy you'll feel? That will be His whisper of, "You are not alone." 

We aren't meant to do life alone. We are meant to come to the table and bear our hearts, to share His mercies. When this is done, we will then see that beneath the clothes, the agendas, the backgrounds, and the finances, we are the same. We all belong to Him.

So be brave. . .

and say yes to the coffee date.
