When that king took the warning message Jeremiah had spent who knows how long writing, cut it into shreds and burned it, Jeremiah didn't quit, he just rewrote the thing.

Being valiant will require different things from each of us because we all value different things and fear different things. <br /><br />Susie, I think you're valiant. Needing reassurance later doesn't detract from the fact that you did the right thing under pressure.
