This is a compilation of all the amazing things I’ve learned in the past 4 months from the amazing ladies of Valor just by how they lived their lives
Care for and put others above yourself
Help wherever is needed, doing whatever is needed
Reach out to others, even if they aren’t reaching out to you
Invite others into the things you love to do… they might love doing it too
Seek out adventure and people
Talk things out, over communicating helps others know where you’re at
Add fun into whatever you do, it makes things that much better
Dance and enjoy every moment of your life
Allow others in
Never give up on your dreams
Invest in and fight for others
Encourage and call others higher
Lead by example
Listen before speaking
Early mornings with God are amazing
Help others believe in themselves
Encourage by walking alongside of people
Allow God to speak through your gifts
Take steps outside your comfort zone
Have a heart of worship
Enjoy time with God daily
Remind others that they are seen
Kep it up – keep on striving forward
Encourage others to tell their story
Planning and organizing is beneficial
Realize your potential and don’t let anyone hold you back
Take time to find solitude
Ask for help when needed
Make room to be whimsical
Allow the Spirit to lead when you preach
Receive compliments
Get to know yourself and others better – anyone heard of the Enneagram 🙂
Ask God the hard questions, He can handle them
Ride the waves, even if they are overwhelming
Encouragement can be given through flowers and colors
Teach others about the gifts God has given you
Reach for your dreams even if they haven’t happened yet
Ask for accountability
Inspire others through sharing listening prayers for them
Never give up on the ones God placed in your life
Ask challenging questions
