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.

Remember the movie, "Monster-in-Law?" While this was intended as a comedy movie, for some this is a reality. Yikes!
