Sometimes things on Pinterest actually encourage me.

Words (I love words!)  +  visual (‘cuz I am a visual person) = I get it!

So when I need a boost, when I am doubting myself or wondering what comes next, I sometimes go back and check out my words-are-all-I-have Pinterest board and re-read something that once struck my fancy or spoke some truth to my heart and I am thoroughly inspired and reignited.  Yep.  That easy sometimes.

These are some that made me crazy-courageous once.  When I really needed it.

Wholeheartedness is really a strong value for me.

Isn’t it so cool to think of God delighting over you?

This one is practically scandulous – but I think it is just saying it is OK to let go of people and things in exchange for something new.

Happiness is not the focus.  But when you get whole and walk holy, happiness shows up.  I don’t just “want to be happy.”  I want to be holy.  In Christ alone.

Again with the wholehearteddeness theme.  I believe in giving whatever you do your all.

 

People share their prayers.  It’s cool.

I am not always all Pollyanna, you know.  :)  I am up for seizing what needs seized.

Totally taught my kids this:

These are lyrics from a song.  And these are powerful questions to consider.  And the possible answer can see you through some really tough stuff..

This is possible.  It isn’t too late to shine the light you were meant to shine.

Life is good.  Amen and amen.

I am not too old to be myself again.  You, neither.

You only find out how true this is when something unthinkable happens.

Encourage yourself with these words.

The winds of change.  You ain’t seen nothing like me yet.

“Nothing is more powerful than allowing yourself to truly be affected by things…”

 This word is important to me.  A simple graphic like this reminds me.

Sometimes you just need the most basic truth and this one is enough:

I love good, inspiring words.
