Happy Kislev! Day 9: A month of remembrance of thanksgiving, dreams & miracles!
Encouragement
As simple as it may seem, we all need encouragement. What would life be without someone placing "courage" into you?
In this way, I know God has created us not to be alone but in community--not an island but part of something greater. At the same time, God is the ultimate encourager. I've only realized this in greater measure in the last few years...and what a difference it makes!
Here's a sneak peak into some remembrances of encouragement I've receive through the years:

Here's a sneak peak into some remembrances of encouragement I've receive through the years:
- Waking up in the middle of the night to find my mom in the living room praying on her knees for her children
- Friends celebrating/marveling at each others qualities/giftings and excited to run together
- A sister connecting to my heart
- A friend challenging me to get-up after a shocking fall
- Seeing people getting free from old mindsets, burdens and traps of life
- Seeing a humble heart in someone else
- Having people tell me to ask the Holy Spirit for answers instead of trying to make up one on the spot
- Having a father figure speak into me as expressing Father God's words for me
- Having a mother figure speak into me as expressing God's tenderness from the attributes of a mother
- The word of God - powerful like a double edge sword straight to my soul & heart
- Shedding anything that hinders (one by one) to gain everything glorious (a.k.a. dying to myself to let Christ reign victoriously in me)
- Seeing people in joy from experiencing God's intimacy, presence & miracles
- Watching unity in different peoples, nations, generations and denominations in real heart-felt praise & worship
- God telling me that He trusts me and entrusts me with everything He places in my path
- True worship that breaks barriers, heals and enlarges my heart, spirit and capacity for more
- Surprising & "random" gifts, notes and words of how people & God value me at the exact right times
- Witnessing the boldness others carry to move into deeper, greater and further places in Jesus
