About T.W. Allgaier

I love Jesus. If I say nothing else, that is enough. But for those curiosity seekers, I am a 61 year old former special education teacher, current part time CCM Radio Announcer and author... who is married to her high school sweetheart. We have been together for 44 years, married almost 41 of those years! We have raised two sons, who are now married, have jobs and mortgages. AND...we became grandparents to a beautiful baby girl in 2018!! We also have our furry son, a West Highland Terrier. My heart's desire is to encourage people in their daily life. I believe that the Father speaks to us all the time, sometimes I have been too busy to listen. Even during times of trials and troubles, which seem endless right now in 2021, HE is present and loves us unconditionally. Thanks for reading. ~Be Encouraged Today~ View all posts by T.W.

New Life

“Super Path” This was the name of the procedure when I received my hip replacement. (In one of my upcoming blogs I will go into more detail about it. There are many differences in the way it is done and in the fact that I have no hip restrictions.)

At my one month check up I received a copy of the X-ray. It was rather surreal actually. I saw a picture of my new ball and socket, with the necessary hardware used to attach it. Bizarre.

I have a choice to make. Even though it feels “different” it is now my new hip. It is my hip and it works 100% better than it did before. I can bend over, sit without pain…the list goes on and on. My choice? To receive it as my own. To allow my mind to receive it as new. Continue reading New Life →

Spoiler Alert~

I was a special education teacher, as well as a homeschooling mom in my previous life. In other words…another lifetime ago. Or so it feels….

I received some encouragement the other day about a former student from several years ago who graduated and is going on to college. I was thrilled and he and his mom made me feel like I made a difference in his life. I used to work only with children with “learning disabilities” or “differences” as I liked to say, and my students often times had trouble getting through high school. So to see some of them make it has always warmed my heart! Continue reading Thankful for Teachers’ Hearts →

It is May. The month of May and our homes have a bit of a history. We have lost two of our homes to storms, so every time a tornado siren goes off my heart skips a bit. I am very calm on the outside, but the heart has a mind all its own! Continue reading Surviving the Storms…. →
