<strong>Think</strong> Like Deborah<br />

to go all out without regard to the natural<br />

odds.<br />

The challenge is, we will never know<br />

unless we are willing to put our hands to the<br />

task. I must tell you that along the “Deborah<br />

road,” I’ve been learning more and more to<br />

detach from the “what if” fear and connect<br />

more to the slogan, “just do it.” How can<br />

you learn, let alone course-correct if you are<br />

too scared to risk something? Or too scared<br />

to trust God for the favorable outcome? As<br />

I see it, “risk” (thoughtfully done), is another<br />

word for faith! I had my answer and thus,<br />

began the quest to plumb the depths of what<br />

Deborah wanted to share with me.<br />

As long as you are in a physical body<br />

striving for more of what you desire, there<br />

will be times when you will stumble. The<br />

only questions are when? Over what will<br />

you stumble? and even more so, what will<br />

it cost you? Most important, though, will you<br />

have the courage to keep moving? These<br />

are all questions I grappled with as I re-examined<br />

my life in light of the courage I saw<br />

unfolding through Deborah’s journey.<br />

The crisis could be a sudden personal<br />

setback, a costly mistake or what you<br />

thought was a well-planned action that took<br />

a wrong turn. You may be called to sacrifice<br />
