Wow it’s been a whole year before I offered up some encouragement to my grandkids both near and far, whether related by blood or by love. Shame on me!
My word of encouragement for you today is to keep moving forward. Life has a tendency to try to halt you from making progress in your life. It gets tough at times to the point that you don’t think you can go on any more in the pain and uncertainties.
You look down life’s road and you see no light, every corner you come against you wonder what is on the other side. “What next!!!!?????” becomes a frequently asked question.
When this happens you need to turn to God for the strength and guidance needed to go on. Use God’s scriptures to refuel your strength to keep you going. Never, never, never rely on your own strength or the false strength you think you are getting from alcohol or drugs.
There is a light at the end of life’s tunnel and no it’s not a train, it hasn’t gone out it is still there. It’s a light found in God in the hope He supplies.
You need to hold on to Philippians 4:13 that tells us we can do all things thru Christ who strengthens us.” Thru Christ is the key you need to put in the pocket of your heart and hold on to. It will unlock many doors at the same time close ones you don’t need to be traveling through anyway.
Always remember that Grandma loves you and Jesus does too. Move forward in that hope, hang on to that truth.

My word of encouragement today is for those kids out there that are really trying to make something of their lives. Good job ACE! I'm proud of you.
Too often we give up on ourselves and figure it’s someone else's job to straighten us out. Boy do we have it wrong. The discipline we received from our parents was intended to keep us going in the right direction until we are able to take over the job ourselves. It’s not an easy task but not everything in life is easy but it’s possible.
It’s possible through Christ to see us through it all. He's not there to get us around it but to walk us through it if we would only learn to let Him doing the leading.
Don’t give up on yourself, don’t give up on God. Keep going forward, backwards has already happened.
It doesn't matter if you've messed things up or accomplished great things you need to keep moving forward. You are loved and treasured and never doubt that. I don't care who you are, its what you are, my grandchildren that makes me love you all as I do.
They call me, Grandma
