I’m always thinking of new subjects to discuss in my blogs; about a week ago I said I wanted to do a blog on fear. I have been struggling with fear, being fearful about different things I’m facing in my life, so I decided to write about it in my next blog. This blog, of course, is not just about me encouraging others, but also myself. I have procrastinated with writing this particular blog post at least a couple weeks. Prior to that, I attended a retreat and there I was reminded of the word courageous. I decided this would be the word for the month. You know how you…

One of my favorite stories of the Bible is the story of Hannah. Why is it my favorite story? Well, let me ask you a question, have you ever had to be patient and wait on something you felt you deserved. Wait could mean, 1 month, 2 minutes lol, or even years. This is why I love the story of Hannah; it’s a story of being patient, waiting and trusting God, and then honoring God with the gift. Hannah was a great woman of God; she desired to have a child but was unable. She prayed, praised God, and prayed some more. She promised God that when he blessed her…
