Encouragement for Women

Last Updated on May 29, 2013 by

It’s Wednesday. Again.

That day of the week when I realize the list I started the week with isn’t nearly finished.

That day of the week when I remember several things that should have been done last week and I forgot to add them to this week’s list.

And the week’s half-over.

Sunday is a day full of hope. I feel encouraged by music and messages and friends. The corporate experience is magical and electric—Spirit-filled.

I feel shiny and new and energized for the week ahead.

But it’s Wednesday. Again.

My shiny is wearing off. I’m feeling a little dull and overwhelmed on Wednesday.

It’s a feeling all the chocolate at Wal-mart can’t fix.

He’s always there. I know He is. I am thankful.

Here’s some good stuff I read this week that renewed me. I’m feeling hopeful and shiny again.

Hope it encourages you, too!

Thank you, Lord, for making all things new–especially me—when I feel old and tired.

Thank you for faithful, obedient servants who write and speak words that encourage us and equip us to be encouragers.
