with the theme being
Joshua 1:9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
i took from "be not afraid" and went with "Fear Not", and went with Red for the color since in the Primary Color song "Red is for Courage".
A friend had told me when i was younger "Fear is the absence of faith" that had been a great reminder to me through the years, as i was preparing a talk for the theme fireside i was thinking of this and the thought came to me that fear is faith, faith in something bad, where courage is faith in something good or faith in God, it occured to me that in life sometimes we let our faith in the power of bad things overcome our faith in good things and that is when we fear, so with this thought if we learn to place our faith in God we will "FEAR NOT"
we also made a necklace/keychain to go along with the emphasis to "Be Strong"
