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~

“Mommy, I am going to stay and live with you forever and ever.” “Oooh, yuck…I don’t like girls.” “Mom, he is acting so weird since he got a girlfriend, I will never act like that.” “Momma, I am going to marry you when I grow up.” “Mommy, here is the Valentine I made just for you!” Continue reading Mom, I’m Staying with you Forever!

His Plans VS. Mine

He Knows the Plans!  ………and that can be hard on a “Type A” personality!

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

…. I remember when I was younger, I tried to plan out my life. I was going to be a professor on a college campus and get married when I was in my late 20’s…….
…. I have been married 35 years, getting married at 19. Continue reading His Plans VS. Mine
