Because There’s Nothing Wimpy About Being an Encourager :: at (in)courage

I’ve heard it whispered and seen it written in more than one place:

Some encouragers are soft cliché whipper-outers with faith deep as a kiddie pool. Sure, they’re nice and all, but they lack thoughtful opinions, creative ideas, and savvy smarts. Their words aren’t all that courageous or brave.

I can’t deny this has been a fear of mine {says the girl whose blog is named Chasing Blue Skies }. But when push comes to shove, I always revisit the same word to describe this line of thinking:

Hogwash.

Yes ma’am.

As an encourager, there is nothing namby-pamby about you. Ready why over here? And if you like the above graphic, you can download a free printable of it here. Other color options available here and here.

And speaking of encouragement, I wanted to encourage you to link up an old or new post for Out of the Blue Thursdays. Around here on Thursdays, we open our eyes to amazing surprises God tailor-designs just for you and me. Tomorrow’s prompt: share about a mistake you made – even a crazy ‘oops’ moment – and how your lesson learned or God’s grace in the mistake surprised you. I’m super excited about this one because I cannot tell a lie: I have a whole lotta material to choose from.

Your post can lean towards poignant or funny~whatever the Lord puts on your heart. I look forward to laughing and crying with you.

Have a wonderful Wednesday, dearies, and thank you for being the gloriously breathtaking, ever encouraging community you are. I couldn’t love you more.
