Today a new site for women went live. It is called (in)courage and is from the folks at Dayspring. It has some of my favorite bloggers writing for them. I love how one said it is like we are around the table at a beach house.
They asked what encourages us? Here a few things that came to mind.
Friends cheering me on and believing in me. Friends who are there in the ups and downs of life.
Divine appointments from God. Those unplanned and unexpected moments when you realize God orchestrated that moment just for you. They are little blessings from the Lord to keep us going on our journey.
Seeing people find their place to serve. Last year we started Community Outreach at our church and over 800 people came forward to be involved. I had goosebumps watching people come forward with their cards.
Hugs from Livi, Chase & Luke, my niece and nephews. Just hanging with them encourages me. They make me laugh or touch my heart with their words. Sitting in church with them yesterday tears came to eyes. Seeing them raised to love the Lord is priceless.
An unexpected note or email from a friend can lift my day instantly. In the craziness of a day to open up an email with a work from a friend is food for our souls.

Your site is so cute! I read your “about” page and loved hearing how God has redeemed your life and the way you’re serving other women. You go, sweet girl!
Thanks for the heads-up on (in)courage. I headed over there and immediately found myself adding it to my rss reader. What a wonderful site it is!
