I'm participating in Lisa-Jo's 5 minute Friday at The Gypsy Mama's Blog. She issues a challenge and we have 5 minutes to write about it.
GRIT
If you have grit, you are a determined person, willing to tough out a situation. You're not wishy-washy but you know what you want and have decided to do what it takes to get there.

Of course, when I hear the phrase "grit" - it's one you don't hear often anymore - my first thought was the movie, "True Grit," starring John Wayne, Kim Darby and Glen Campbell. (It's crazy but Glen Campbell used to be one of my heart-throbs! I seriously had a poster of him on my bedroom wall.) But I digress. If I remember correctly, the movie was about a girl who was determined to not give up until her father's killer had been brought to justice.
I'd like to think I am a "gritty" person. There are some things that are important to me, things that I believe in and will not back down. I hope I'm known for standing for Christ and His word. I hope my little piece of the world knows that my family is mine and you better not mess with them!
The world may not know to say I have "grit," but I hope they recognize I'm a person of inte"grit"y.
{I did write this in 5 minutes, but it took a couple more minutes to find the "True Grit" illustration.)
