    Cheering You On!

    Every now and then we all need some encouragement to help us stay in the game. So consider this your end of the week reminder, you were built for greatness. Don’t let anyone or any situation tell you otherwise. You’ve got this! Whatever your “this” may be, don’t let it defeat you. Stay strong and encouraged, even if you have to encourage your self.

    Connection Check

    I was listening to my pastor preach on Sunday and he mentioned how we are to build each other up. In that moment. I began to think of my current circles. I’m truly grateful for my friends and family, they are encouraging and often push me to stretch myself. Later that evening, as I participated in a book club, I thought of connections again. We are currently reading the devotional book, “A Woman Who Doesn’t Quit.” A part of not quitting is having people in your life that are cheering you on and also pushing you to the next level. It doesn’t take an army of people, however, one person…
