All you really need after a hard day is a little bit of encouragement. Fixing the problem is usually out of the question, you just want to feel better. One way to do this is read through some quotes from inspirational people to make things a little more brighter.

"The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy." ~Psalm 126:3

"You are amazing . . . remember that."

"I am stronger than this challenge."

"Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord." ~Psalm 27:14

"Fear has two meanings : forget everything and run or face everything and rise."

"I get my strength from Jesus who says 'be strong.' ~Bethany Hamilton

"When you go through deep waters, I will be with you." ~Isaiah 43:2

"Behold, I am with you always." ~Matthew 28:20

"We all go through things in life that we don't understand, but God uses the dark places. They're a part of his divine plan."

"Certain things catch your eye, but pursue only those that capture your heart."

"Who can I bless today?"

"Sometimes God gives us hard times to appreciate the good ones."

I'll be real honest, I am a HUGE, HUGE, fan of Youtube. Netflix and YouTube, that's my life. I found a video the other day that is really inspirational. You may not like it, but if you want to watch it, here it is!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment.
