Encouragement

I am naturally an extreme person, and I have a very extreme personality. I am never ever neutral, I am 99.1% of the time always at some type of a high or low. I am either really super duper excited or desperately bottom of the pit low, I said all of this to say I know how discouragement feels and I know how pain feels. I understand and know well what it's like to have a bad day and want to stay there. This page is full of quotes for encouragement and a pick me up on low days and strength through rough seasons. It's okay not to be okay, go on head feel whatever is bothering you BUT do NOT stay there. We can cry and deal with our emotions but at some point we got to dry our eyes, get up and do something! Remember we are not just His princesses but His warrior princesses. I came up with a list of quotes and scriptures that have helped me and I pray they encourage you as they have encouraged me.

We cannot always trace God's hand, but we can always trust God's heart. ♥
- C.H. Spurgeon

God is God. Because He is God, He is worthy of my trust and obedience. I will find rest nowhere but in His holy will, a will that is unspeakably beyond my largest notions of what He is up to. 
- Elisabeth Elliot

Dependence upon God makes heroes of ordinary people like you and me! 
- Bruce Wilkinson

There are always uncertainties ahead, but there is always one certainty--God's will is good. 

--  Vernon Paterson 

A person who wholly follows the Lord is one who believes that the promises of God are trustworthy, that He is with His people, and that they are well able to overcome. 
- Watchman Nee

Satan is ever seeking to inject that poison into our hearts to distrust God's goodness - especially in connection with his commandments. That is what really lies behind all evil, lusting and disobedience. A discontent with our position and portion, a craving from something which God has wisely held from us. Reject any suggestion that God is unduly severe with you. Resist with the utmost abhorrence anything that causes you to doubt God's love and his lovingkindness toward you. Allow nothing to make you question the Father's love for his child. 
- Arthur W. Pink

God will never, never, never let us down if we have faith and put our trust in Him. He will always look after us. So we must cleave to Jesus. Our whole life must simply be woven into Jesus. 
- Mother Teresa

For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
