Be Encouraged!!

Today I feel led to encourage God's people. I have experienced many overwhelming and challenging situations in my life but I have found that encouraging other people has always helped encourage me. So, I'm sharing a few scriptures that will hopefully make you understand that God is with you and that He will never leave you nor forsake you. After losing my husband of 11 years on March 18, 2013, I thought I was going to die...BUT GOD!! No matter what you find yourself in, God's got your best interests at heart.  Yes, I feel so lonely sometimes but no matter what I feel, God is right here with me through it all. BE ENCOURAGED!
