Having Courage


Going to college takes real courage.  While it may not be a trial quite like Esther, doing what you know is right always takes courage.  Coming to BYU was an extremely scary choice for me.  Going to school in state would have kept me closer to my family, closer to my best friends, and closer to the guy I was dating.  I would have gotten scholarships and been the top of my class.  It made sense to stay in state, but the fact is, I would not have grown.  I needed to move 2000 miles from home and start a new life because I needed to learn to rely on the Lord.  I needed to to act in faith and pray to know my choice to come to BYU was correct.
What do you think?  Have you had an experience that tried your faith?  Where you had to show courage?
