"i think u'll be good at it"

Sometimes all it takes is a few encouraging words.

Today it was just seven little words in a facebook message. A message from a crazy high school friend. The message was simple: "i think u'll be good at it."

Seven words typed after a brief facebook chat. Seven words that brought tears. Seven words said from one friend to another. Friends that live vastly different lives. Friends that have only seen each other once in 27 years. Seven words that were enough to put a little fight back in girl and make her believe that maybe, just maybe, she really is on that path that God has laid out for her.

Don’t ever assume that those around you have it all together and they don’t need your encouragement. Don’t ever think that they hear it from everyone else so you don’t need to bother. Don’t ever believe that you don’t have enough to offer. Don't ever think that just because you never see that facebook friend that you can't encourage them.

Don’t ever underestimate the power of an encouraging word or two (or seven).

Thanks Ed.
