Welcome to BlenCouragesU.com! This wonderful and tough life is an open book test–--God’s Word has all the ANSWERS!! One of my favorite books of the Bible is Nehemiah. God called him to rebuild a wall and it a was tough assignment with all of the naysayers, distractors, and circumstances that came up to TRY and stop the work. In spite of everything, Nehemiah remained faithful to God, stayed working on the wall, and completed his task--all to God's glory! His story inspires me to be a blessing to you. Here you'll find specially chosen podcasts from my site to encourage you #StayOnTheWall.

Some of you all may recall a story about my initial high school experience....talk about a CHALLENGE?! WHEW!!! But, even though I did not know the Lord like I do now, He smoothed things out, and sent some good friends whom I have kept in contact with down through the years.
One friend, Jim reached out to me with an urgent prayer request that really pulled on my heart. Let's talk about it!*
Hey there BCUFam!
Now that the holidays are here, there is an emphasis on giving to others. While this season is a reminder, it's actually biblical to look after others all year-round.

Hey there BCU Fam!
As a youngster, did you count down to the next big thing, like I did? Could you hardly wait to get to the next milestone? Did we complain because the wait time was "too long", rather than savor our precious moments?
Have we carried that mindset into adulthood? What if we were intentional about being content and thankful where we are? Let's talk about it!
Hey there BCUFam,
Back in the day, during thunderstorms, my dad would unplug appliances, my mom's telephone call would abruptly end, and us kids were told to sit and be quiet while the Lord was "speaking". I did not fully understand that statement until this experience. Let's talk about it!
