"It's Time to Encourage!"

6/11/2015

To ALL our BBU Life Changers and Eagles,

Let's start off with a few questions for you :)...

When is the last time you encouraged someone? When is the last time someone encouraged you? Does life get hard for you sometime? Have you seen any of your friends or family members cry recently? Have you at any point ever just wished someone would have checked on you to make sure you were ok? When is the last time you encouraged yourself?

I ask you these questions to challenge you. It is so easy to go through our day to day duties or just our daily walk of life and not think of someone else. It is also easy to focus on our problems and forget that there are other people who are hurting and going through hard times as well.

Imagine if each of us took time to encourage and bring a smile to 5-10 people a day. After a 7 day week, that is a lot of people who were impacted in a positive way. Think about when you have been sad, wanted to give up, didn't understand why your life was going the way it was, or even you questioned if you mattered at all. Think about those emotions and think about how you would of felt if someone just took a moment to just encourage you, tell you how awesome you are and speak life into, whether that is through:  text, a call, physically meet up with you, stop to talk and possibly pray for you. How would that make you feel? For most of us it would probably turn our whole day around and make us feel so much better. Even if it is a temporary feeling, we would have enough hope to continue on and keep going.

Then take that same concept and think about if you looked in the mirror or wrote in your journal encouraging words about yourself. If you just spoke positive things about yourself or remember all the accomplishments you have earned and worked hard for. Sometime we cant always wait for someone else to encourage us, we have to encourage ourselves and know that we are going to be ok. We have to learn to be proud of ourselves even when no one around us may say it. When we learn to love, appreciate, encourage and celebrate our success and wins in our own life; then we can begin to care less if others say it or not. At that point we know who we are and what we are capable of!

Key Points:
*Take time to encourage those around you
*Encourage yourself
*Change your perspective towards life and people
*Have a positive mental toughness
*Don't forget to laugh, smile and enjoy life!

Final Thought: You never know what your words and/or actions can do for someone else. Don't doubt the power of your words or your actions. You will be surprised when you learn to take the focus off yourself and think of others, how impactful you can be. You matter and this world needs positive people who care about seeing other people make it and to do life with them. So let's step out and encourage others Life Changers and Eagles. Be a light out in the world and continue to make positive impact and change the world one life at a time!

"Humility and Thankfulness"

6/11/2015

Family Post from Coach Bry

These past few weeks have literally been the most humbling weeks I have had outside of my missionary trips and random experiences in life. The reason why I say this is because I have been taking care of my mom as she battles this cancer journey and these last few weeks have been emotional for me.

A few weeks ago, my mom fell as she was going to the bathroom one morning and to hear her scream for help because she was unable to get up on her own and being in pain. Seeing her struggle to get off the floor and me having to use all my strength to help her up really showed me a lot. One thing I do know is I am thankful I was home when it happened because who knows what would of happened to her if I wasn't. That was one moment for me where it showed me how important it is that I am there for my mom whenever and however I can be. I was very scared and sad seeing her on the floor and her being challenged to get up.

Another moment that happened a few days after that is when she asked me to give her a bath. She mentioned to me that she hadn't been able to physically take a bath in 4 years (she only been taking showers the past few years) and that she would just really like to get in and enjoy it. I told her I didn't mind helping her get in and help get her situated. Little did I know, offering to help my mom do something that she has been wanting to do for a long time would turn into such a humbling and appreciative moment for me.

The process to get her in and out almost put me in tears. Having to be strategic and gentle to get her in because her legs were hurting so much and she is not able to use them fully because of the lack of strength in them. To see her just be so happy to be in the tub and have bubbles and all that, made me happy for her. I saw her get so frustrated though when we had to get her out. To see her not be able to use her legs or arm strength to get out and for me to have physically pull her out myself; I was like wow. I just thanked God for me being healthy one to help my mom in that moment, but also just thankful for being able to do all I am able to do. Seeing my mom in that process broke my heart literally because I know that was not easy and was beyond frustrating to have your mind want to do something your body physically just can't do.

I share these experiences because it really puts things in perspective. As people I believe we have the tendency to take things for granted, especially the small things. Like being able to eat, breathe, walk, run, talk, see, hear, and just live. When we really think about it and ask ourselves, what would we do if everything was taken from us? If we weren't able to use our legs, arms, be able to cook on our own or even have energy just to get up everyday. This is something I have observed not only with my mom, but also with my grandma.

To see what I consider very strong independent woman, all of a sudden have their basic needs of life slowly being stripped from them really began to break my heart. It made me want to pray more for my mom just for strength, peace, healing, restoration, and a will to keep going. We could always say what we think we would do in a situation until we get in it. I honestly don't know how I would handle it if I was in the journey my mom is in. I also believe that God knows who and what to give what to. There are people who can handle the cancer battle, the financial set backs, the family issues, and so on. It goes back to we will never get more than we can bare on us and that is something I am seeing with my mom. She may get tired, but she never gives up.

Key Takeaway: Again, I share this because I want us to learn to be grateful for all we do have. We may not have all we want or be living the life we desire right now, but we have so many things to be thankful for. Let us not wait until it is taken from us or not able to use it anymore before we appreciate what we have. Always remember that life may not always be an easy process, but if we change our attitude, mentality and effort; our lives will begin to change.

Today lets be thankful for another day of life and never give up. What we deal with is only temporary, it wont last forever. Appreciate the little things and be thankful for all and any blessings that come our way. It is always easy to focus on the negatives, but in the mist of those negatives; there are always some positives to appreciate it in the long run! 


Thank you for reading Life Changers, hope this encourages you today!
