Today I found myself in a setting with Sarah Palin. In fact, she was sitting right behind me as we were attending the same event.
She took the opportunity to stand up and share from her heart, something non political, something very dear about a very precious person who had been in her life.
As she was speaking and then sat down, I was overwhelmed with a conclusion that my heart deeply grasped.
It doesn't matter what side of the political banter you find yourself on. It doesn't matter if you agree or disagree with her. It doesn't matter what you think of her or her family. What matters is: She knows who she is, what the Lord has called her to, and speaks from that assurance. Oh, I am sure she is quite human like the rest of us and has her share of tears, and yet, she is confident in what she believes is right and walks it out in whatever setting she finds herself in. She is not hindered by people's opinion. Those opinions do not control her. She speaks freely and unashamed.
What a valuable lesson she taught me today. I want to live like that.
