  6. Your words have been inspiring. So glad to see the generation of young women growing strong in the lord. I was surprised though not seeing a wider age group in that very large group. In my walk with the Lord, God has placed several key older ( Titus) women, in my life that influenced me greatly, and still do. Thank you younger women for speaking into a sixty somethings life.

    • Thank you Linda for your words!

      I pray that you always find truth and encouragement here!

      May God reveal some beautiful mysteries to you in 2015 that will draw you closer to Him and bring encouragement to those around you!

  7. Dear In(Courage) women,

    Thank you for following God’s leading and being obedient to do His will and write for us. We (I) really need this encouragement. 2014 was a tough year dealing with dad’s ailing health, job issues with me and hubby and at the end losing 2 friends. Constant struggle with my emotions all over the map!

    You have sustained me through these tough trying times and helped me to encourage others and realize that people have worse problems than I do and I can pray for them.

    Thanks so much! Have a blessed New Year!

    • Thank you Beth!

      May God bring supernatural healing, provision, restoration and hope to your life in 2015! Believe Him for BIG things. He is a BIG God! He loves you and cares for you. May you sense His nearness to you in this season. Trust that He has good in store for you because He is your good, good Father!

  8. Thank you for all the encouragements throughout the year. You’ve taught me to be more obedient to God’s word & to follow Him & to always want to live like Jesus. Last year was a tough year, losing my dad & my husband’s mother. We had some low days, but you & God’s word sustained us. I pray you all have a blessed year!

    • Thank you Sandra!

      Praying for sustained healing and joy in 2015! May God stir up a deep desire for His Word and presence. May you seek nothing over Him. May you hear His still small voice and follow Him with reckless abandon! He is so worthy!

  9. I’ve been thinking of a word or “theme” to focus on for the new year and that word is renewal. I was so excited when I saw the verse for today!

    • Lori, I love it when God does that! He make all things new!

      I pray that in 2015, He breathes new life into some dry places in your life. May you begin to seek Him like never before. May you discover new found intimacy with the Lord. May you hear His voice in fresh ways.

      May He exceed your every expectation! Blessings to you!

  10. love it! Love y’all!! Can’t wait to see what God’s been working on behind the scenes for 2015! Thanks for the look down memory lane!!!
