Encourage

To give courage or hope to; to reassure; to help.

This morning I woke up with a text message from my best friend: “I hope you have a fantastic day! Love you and praying for you!” Even though this is just a short message, it means a lot! It helps me to know that I’m not fighting through the struggles of life alone. That there are people standing in my corner, being there for me.

Over the last two years I have received many, many letters. It amazes me that even though not everyone knows my story or knows what I’ve gone through, they still are willing to encourage me, pray with me, and be there for me. One of the letters I received had a picture and all it said was “I believe in you.” This one is my favorite, because even though it has just a few words, it’s so powerful. It overwhelms me to know that there are people believing in me even when I don’t believe in myself.

Being an encouragement is important. You never know how much a simple message can make someone’s day. That message may be the only thing getting them through the day. We all need a little encouragement sometimes.

I have been so amazingly blessed with the people I have in my life. I can’t thank people enough for the love and support they have given me. It has helped me a lot to know people haven’t given up on me and are walking with me through life, because we aren’t supposed to go through life alone.

Thank you guys for believing in me.
