“Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all you lands! Serve the Lord with gladness! Come before His presence with singing! Know (perceive, recognize, and understand with approval) that the Lord is God! It is He Who has made us, not we ourselves [and we are His]! We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and a thank offering and into His courts with praise! Be thankful and say so to Him, bless and affectionately praise His name! For the Lord is good; His mercy and loving-kindness are everlasting, His faithfulness and truth endure to all generations”.
I honestly feel each and every single one of us has at some point during the course of our life found ourselves in need of someone to talk to, someone who will listen and be a sounding board, and can be trusted to keep our conversations in confidence. This is what my personally coined term Confidential Encourager represents.
Sure we all have family, friends, coworkers, and even pastors and teachers who we could ask for guidance as we navigate through life, especially during those so obvious to others difficult times. But what about the not so obvious to everyone else times when the turmoil deep within our hearts is beyond our ability to clearly and concisely explain? And as Christians we also know we can and should talk to God about our concerns. But sometimes those closest to us are actually a little bit too close to us, thus are unable to be unbiased while also keeping our secrets in confidence. And, sometimes our thoughts are such a jumbled mess, we can’t seem to hear from God.
We could go to a shrink, you know, a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist, but don’t really want to, can’t afford to, don’t want or need to be put on medication and weekly couch time for possibly years to come. We could sign up for an expensive preset and step-by-step course to turn our lives around, but aren’t looking for a cookie-cutter, often overpriced coaching program.
Sometimes we simply need someone we can confide in, can trust, can afford, can count on to listen and interpret precisely what it is we are trying to understand about ourselves and how to deal with it all, someone who can see deep within our soul and offer encouragement without being judgmental and opinionated. Call it counseling, call it coaching,…call it two people talking, you sharing while I listen, you opening up while I interpret what your heart is really trying to understand, call it mentoring if need be. Call it a conversation held in confidence because you sometimes just need someone to talk to, call it a Confidential Encourager.

Hope you enjoyed reading this post and will consider sharing your thoughts, following me on social media and subscribing to my blog.
Do you remember what you dreamt of becoming when you grew up? While I went to college to become a school teacher, I fell in love with words after finally learning to read in the third grade. Yes, I will forever be grateful to those saintly elementary school teachers: Mrs. Mikus, Mrs. Day, Mrs. King, Miss Roosa, and Mrs. Thomas, who had such patience, believing I would eventually catch on.
Fast-forward just a few years as I continue to develop my craft through this website. While I definitely need my treasured technical assistant, I am honored God is allowing me to use my writing to encourage others in their relationship with the Lord.
And while my website may currently seem to be little more than a blog filled with posts, I view it as the beginning stages of a ministry filled with dreams and visions, with plans to develop into so, so much more, all for the glory of God.
I so appreciate you, my dear readers, for not only reading what I write, but taking the time to comment. “Buy Me a Coffee” is simply another way to express your appreciation for the encouragement, insight, and wisdom I am blessed by God to share. So consider buying me a cup of coffee, or two or three, and become a supporter of something way bigger than all of us. I am already most grateful!
