Encourage Yourself

My heart rejoices in the promise of a bright and fulfilling future for my children and my family.  My heart leaps at the goodness and love extended toward to us.  Internal struggles and sadness are overwritten with hope and faith.  Very little prepares you for the ups, downs and the unknown in this funny little thing called life.  Continue to hold on and despite how it feels and looks, make a decision to stand on God's word and his promises. Thank you Lord for health, life, sacrifice, love, laughter, provision and victory...focusing on the finish line of this race.

The race is not given to the swift nor the strong but he who endures until the end. (parapharased Ecclesiastes 9:11) 

Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. John 14:1
