HI, I’M BETTYE NICOLE
And I love ā€œAll Things ENCOURAGEMENTā€- It’s A Thing! I also love coffee, reading biographies, and, traveling. I’ve walked through my seemingly un-fair share of trials. The pain in those moments felt unbearable and far beyond redemption. Job had it right when he exclaimed, ā€˜Man born of a woman is of few days and full of troubleā€-Job 14:1. Over the last few years, I experience

d deep disappointment after my daughter passed away unexpectedly to SIDS. During this dark season of my life, Jesus Christ himself became my light, comfort, and strength. Over time, He healed my broken heart, sutured my wounds close, and redeemed my life. The Bible encouraged my heart in indescribable ways and became my lifeline. I was able to exchange my hopelessness and despair for the Hope that ā€œAll things would work together for my good.ā€Romans 8:28

Daily, I strive to walk out the truths of scripture and entrust myself continuously into God’s sovereign hand. God knows exactly what He is doing in our life. Be Encouraged; God has promised His people Victory!

24 hours of chaos in the beautiful and bustling streets of NYC.
__
We were initially scheduled to sit in on a live recording of David Jeremiah, but flight delays due to weather prevented us from attending. After getting beyond the hustling cab drivers and traffic, we explored the city and made the best of our trip.
__
I’m so grateful for the chaos that teaches me lessons that can only be learned in unexpected situations. I used to gripe and grow discouraged when plans shifted, but Contentment will keep your heart and mind undisturbed even when you can’t make sense of things.
__
A few things God is teaching me this year are the power of waiting, accountability, and character checks. Waiting for His justice through revelation. While leaning into
Accountability and forward motion, when I could have said or done things better. Apologizing when wrong while holding your character under the light of God’s Word and Will for our life, adjusting when necessary. I’m far from perfect, and I’ve made so many choices in my past that I deeply regret before Christ. SIN is destructive, and it destroys your sense of self while also setting you up with consequences that will follow you forever. I’ve learned this the hard way 😩 Thank God for grace and a better future, still. You are not your past mistakes. Don’t you hold your choices over your head, and don’t allow anyone else to either. Be free.

As I sit in this airport, fueled by espresso and the longing for my bed. I can’t help but feel a deep sense of gratitude- for everything. Life will be as good as you believe it to be; how willing you are to work toward better, and how much you are willing to let go of trusting that God sees and He truly does know. May you always remember that God always has a plan in a plan.

Be encouraged,
—-

Progress is progress.
__
Years ago, I sat in the dentist’s office explaining to the tech how much I hated my lack of care for my dental hygiene when I was younger. I shared how I indulged in sweets without a care in the world. I was filled with so much shame because of the teeth that I had removed because of cavities. As I continued, she examined my mouth and said, ā€œ Whatever you’ve done in the past few years has really turned things around. She encouraged me that though I hadn’t made the best decisions in the past, my choices forward had made a huge difference. My current dental practices have resulted in healthy gums and teeth.

I will never forget those words, ā€œyou’ve turned things aroundā€. Those words have preached to me and lifted me in more ways than I can describe. So often, we live in the shadows of shame from past decisions, discounting the work and progress that we’ve made to get beyond our mistakes. Progress counts, no matter how small the measure. The enemy would love for you to continue to rehash your mistakes, especially when you are face-to-face with someone who can examine and observe that sensitive spot or time in your life. But God is always highlighting the progress. Encouraging you to go forward.
ļæ½Don’t allow your past to shape the words of your today and your hope for tomorrow. Don’t allow your mind to keep playing the short film of the memories and the decisions that were not the best. Instead, ask the Lord to help you reframe the losses so that you may hold them as lessons. And for every choice you have made, to turn things around, celebrate it. Acknowledge it as progress toward a better end goal. God has a plan for you and will use the mistakes as stepping stones toward grace for you and others.

Be encouraged,

ā€˜Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. ā€˜
Philippians 3:13-14

The Lord will never let you down,
I distinctly remember praying wholeheartedly for a desire I imagined would be best. When it didn’t happen, I would bury the disappointment and believe the enemy’s lie—that I was rejected. In retrospect, the disappointment and the grief that accompanied it did me a far greater good than had I received what I so desperately wanted.

God consistently brings these instances to my mind to remind me that it is always best to wait on Him, but more importantly, trust Him as we wait. Every opportunity, relationship, and experience God brought into my life has been good. I know this because they have borne fruit in me, mainly the fruit of peace. On the contrary, everything I went out and made happen for myself worked for a season but eventually came to nothing.

I said all that to say this: Don’t allow your disappointment to shape your hope in God. If He has said no, trust Him. If He has said Wait, trust Him. If He has been silent, trust Him. God doesn’t withhold good from us. He is good, and He does Good. But you’ve got to stick it out in Faith to see the end. You may have buried disappointment deep within the recesses of your heart to the point where your thoughts are always divided, wondering why you don’t see prayers answered the way you have prayed. Or, you may be dealing with a depth of rejection that hinders and has skewed your view of God. I want you to be encouraged to know that the Lord sees and that if He isn’t moving, it’s for a purpose. God will never reject you; He loves you. But love doesn’t always promise your outcome, but it does commit to God’s plan for your life.

I pray that this encourages you to hang on longer. Life is filled with the unexpected and We’ve all had our share of grief, heartache, joy, and unanswered questions. All of this can work for your eternal good in the hands of a sovereign God. The Lord won’t let you down. Trust Him.

Let's talk about courage!

"'Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. 'Joshua 1:9

Don’t despise the hard things that God calls you to do. There is courage for the hard.
