Encouraging
I love to encourage people. Those who are going through hard times, believe! It's not the end of your story, things do get better when we don't give up!
My personal situation now is this: I'm content. I have a wonderful husband who has a decent job and I don't have to work, I can be a stay-at-home mom and not worry about tomorrow. But it's only the tip of the iceberg. My true hope is in the Lord, my Creator, I fully believe that He has a great plan for me. Sometimes I feel like I don't do enough as a mother, wife and community member (volunteering in my kids' school), sometimes I don't feel like doing anything, no energy, no motivation. But those days pass and I want to help and stay busy.
One of the most important thing you can do to stay energetic is proper nutrition and adequate hydration. Fresh produce gives more energy than processed foods, healthy smoothies are so easy to make, I thank God for all the wonderful inventions, like blenders. :) Cooking for self is not necessary. The family is a different story, they are not into smoothies that much yet, so I have to cook.
Things haven't always been so easy. I'm a daughter of immigrants, English is my second language. It took time and sometimes still feels like I'm not at home in my country. But I try not to dwell on negatives, with God I'm at home because He created the whole earth and is with me everywhere I go.
What we believe is so important. Sure, you can believe in yourself and achieve a lot, but I would rather believe in the almighty God who strengthens and sustains me. Without God we are too limited, too mortal. With Him - unstoppable, eternal, enjoying every day of our lives.

Definitely true, God does strengthen us very much and he definitely holds a great future for you (not that I would know, I can't predict the future). This is a wonderful post and I think that it definitely gives me vigor as well. Keep up the good work. -Floridalma
