Stand My Ground

I am a woman, a Christian, a Floridian, and I stand my ground.

I stand my ground for nonviolence in a warring world.

I stand my ground for justice in the midst of very real bonds of oppression.

I stand my ground for feminism among a culture that blames, punishes, and denies me.

I stand my ground because the apostle Paul calls us to present ourselves as a living sacrifice.

I stand my ground because Jesus the Christ said, “Fear not.”

I stand my ground because God is at work always in all ways.

I stand my ground because many days I’m not sure what else to do or how else to be.
