Ever since God showed me that my 2022 WOTY was to be ENCOURAGEMENT, I have been on the lookout for strategies and ideas to increase the reach of God’s work through me.
I asked:
- Who should I be encouraging?
- What type of encouragement is required?
- What else should I be doing?
He answered:
- Find women who inspire or encourage you and tell them
- Find an older & younger woman to minister to AND DO IT!
- Find someone who is walking through a season that you have survived and share your story
- Become a prayer warrior, an intercessor, a world changer
- Learn to listen more & speak less (don’t interrupt or respond too quickly)
I will admit that some of the items on the above list are easier to accomplish than others. I also realize that maximizing God’s ENCOURAGEMENT strategies will require me to step way outside of my comfort zone. However, if I trust His plan and follow it, I will be unstoppable.

This is great Barb, and I am ENCOURAGED just by reading your list!😇

Very encouraging post! Sharing our stories with others is such a good thing. We learn so much from one another. Life does have many ‘seasons’, and there is a wealth of information that is common to us all at any given time. Great photo!
