I am still here friends. I have crossed over to the next leg of our difficult journey and that was my husband’s surgery. He spent the weekend in the hospital after his surgery on Friday. I got him home yesterday, but have really been trying to take the best care of him as I know how. I have to stay ahead of his pain management and have to figure out the right balance of letting him sleep and getting him to walk.
I am also trying to balance my daughter’s health issues as well as her recovery from her sinus surgery just 2 weeks ago. I now am trying to meet his health needs while still taking care of her and getting her to her doctor appointments as well.
Balance, that is the struggle I have at the moment. Then there is my own personal exhaustion in meeting their health needs. As a result of my exhaustion I can’t find the words that are hiding in my head to be able to write.
Please know I have not given up on my blogging. I just have to get through this difficult place and then I will be back. Hopefully encouraging you all again.

I am a wife, mom, and daughter. I have served in the United States Army, gone to college, and received a Batchelor's Degree in Criminology. I married my husband when he was on active duty in the United States Army so I have the unique knowledge of what it is like to be on both sides of a Military uniform. I have been a wife for a lot longer than when I was in the Army.
While we were stationed in Germany, my daughter, who is 23 years old now was born and I chose to put my career on hold to be a mom and eventually a homeschool mom.
The past 15 years have been wrought with many struggles for various reasons, but it is as a result of those struggles that this blog has come about.
As the years passed and the struggle kept coming, I would say to God, "I'm not sure why we have to go through all of this, but if we have to God, then allow my story to serve as a means of encouragement to others so all this pain isn't for nothing."
Well, the years passed but the struggles never went away. I feel now is the time God wants me to begin sharing my story. It is my prayer as I share my heart that it will serve as a healing opportunity for you, my readers. Know you are not alone. There are hope and encouragement that waits.
