Encourage the next...
WELCOME
Thank you for stopping by. You may wonder why I picked this name for this space. Well, it's because we never know who we can and will encourage along the way. Everyone needs someone to believe in them and encourage them.
In our world of darkness, we can be the light that shines to others.
It is my hope that you find encouragement and hope here that will guide you to encourage the next.... teacher, fireman, Doctor, humanitarian, every day!
Life is not at all fair for most of us, however, I believe that if we keep our minds and hearts toward Heaven, we can and will make it!
Just as the verse says;
The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple. Psalms 119:130
So thank you for deciding to share it with me!
Our Purpose
Writing has always helped me work through difficult times and remember good times. There is something about seeing your words on a page, then going back after several years and reading them again. In this blog and on this site, it is my goal to share with you what I have learned and what has encouraged and inspired me through those times. Being a Christian, my faith in the Lord has gotten me through good times and bad. I am continually growing in Christ and just want to share my journey with you!
If you do not believe in God, or have doubts and questions, or have stepped away from Him, I encourage you to search the bible, not people for answers. Humans will let us down, however God never leaves us or abandons us!
This I know for sure!

Lamentations 3:22-23 ESV
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
Few people know how to take a walk. The qualifications are endurance, plain clothes, old shoes, and eye for nature, good humor, vast curiosity, good speech, good silence and nothing too much. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
