I do not know who I am speaking to, but I feel that many of you are feeling one or more of these emotions. I actually felt some of these emotions myself in the last few weeks, but there was a "InCouraging Angel" who was there for me on this week. I thought a lot about what this person said to me that incouraged my spirit and it allowed me to come up with tactics and strategies:

  • Keep Going
  • Face the Challenges
  • Find the Positive
  • Make Goals
  • Make New Goals
  • Make Plans
  • Encourage Yourself
  • Plan to Succeed
  • Ask God for Forgiveness
  • Forgive Yourself and Others
  • Do the Impossible
  • Believe in Yourself
  • Persevere
  • Conquer All
  • Love Hard
  • Pray, Pray, and Pray

Most important we have look to God for direction, clarity, plans and the outcome for our lives. We must realize that this journey can seem dismal, grim and drab at times, but we have to see beyond and realize that happiness, pleasure and enjoyment are in our hands to explore. We have to face our adversities, our fears and our challenges head on, with God by our side. Sometimes life can become so mundane that we feel no outlet, you do the same thing daily, work, finances, kids, appointments, etc, and then you get two days off and start over again. After awhile we come to a point that we desire more out of life, such as a business, better job, more money, a husband , kids, a happy family, travel, adventure, some of us just want peace, joy, and sense of contentment in life. Guess what God wants us to have that also, and he has designed that for our lives, we just have to tap in and hear what he is saying. So, if you are feeling out of sorts on today, breathe, start fresh, and ask God for his assistance.

InCouragement Scripture:

Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do super abundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]--
- Epehsians 3:20 (Amp)
