Whoever You Are ...

Have you ever felt just plain weary? 

Have you heard from well meaning people that in essence you just need to ‘suck it up’ or ‘put on your big girl panties?’ 

I have and while there are times when those words of advice are applicable there are also times when one needs something more.

About a week and a half ago I was at that place of needing something more.  I was feeling so weary that I cried out to God in a heartfelt silent prayer that I needed some encouragement.

Fast forward to yesterday.  We were very busy; we were on the go most of the day with several big things that had to be done. We picked up our mail at the post office and while riding down the road I began to look through it.  Little did I know that the answer to the silent plea that I had given God days earlier was about to be answered.

There was a letter in the mail addressed to me. I don’t know who it was from, there was no return address nor was the letter signed … but it was full of the sweetest encouragement.  Big tears began to roll down my face as I read each word and my husband observing my behavior asked what was wrong.  I told him nothing was wrong and proceeded to read the letter to him.  He was in awe!

I would love to know who to personally thank but am respecting their wish to remain anonymous. I know they read my blogs, they were most complimentary … whoever you are, THANK YOU!   

You allowed God to use you to meet a need in my life … even though you didn’t know about the need … THANK YOU!

You made a difference in my day and in my husband’s day … THANK YOU!         

You made me realize all over again the awesomeness of God … THANK YOU!  Who besides God could have planted the seed in someone’s mind several states away that prompted the letter of encouragement I received!

Whoever you are … THANK YOU!

And now it’s time to pass it on to others.  I will be praying for God to bring to my mind someone who needs encouraging and then I will come up with an appropriate way to encourage them.  I want to encourage each of you to find someone to encourage as well.  Few of us know what burdens many silently carry and while we may not be able to physically lighten their loads we can use the tool of encouragement to brighten their day.  

I know because I have been the recipient of such encouragement!

Again, Whoever you are … THANK YOU!

Welcome!

Welcome to my little corner of the world where I strive to encourage women in their spiritual walks. 

My name is patsy and I have been a Christian for many years.  I love the Lord, He has been so good to my family and I.  He has walked with us and many times carried us through hard trials and tribulations that life has brought.  

One of my favorite verses in the Bible is Psalm 18:1, “I love you Lord, my strength’ for He surely is.

Come on in and take a look around.  Here are some things to check out …

My purpose statement can be found HERE and my permission page Here.

You’ll find a free Bible study titled ‘A Glimpse of Anna’ on the sidebar.

Here’s an article on Lydia that I wrote and some thoughts that I have on being a grandmommie.

You'll also find a couple of teaching aids posts HERE.

I have many things to add to the site that will take quite some time as I have been writing Bible studies, articles and teaching children and women’s Bible classes for several years.

But this blog is not just about things I’ve written, it’s also about doing.

Each Monday I will issue a spiritual challenge for the week, it won't be difficult  …

From time to time, I’ll be sharing things I’m studying and the methods I’m using to study God’s Word. (There are so many ways to study God’s Word!)

I’ll also be sharing things I find that are helping me in my spiritual walk.

I want this site to be a place of inspiration and encouragement as we walk our spiritual walks.  I hope you find it so!
