How many people have entered into your life because you shared something in common?
Do you share a job that is either a good or a bad one?
Do you share the Military in common and have people come and go in your life between of either changes in duty stations or changes in assignments?
Do you have a family member with difficult medical issues and have met people who share your same medical conditions?
Are you a homeschool family and are involved in similar co-ops or activities and have encountered other homeschooling families sharing similar family dynamics creating friendships you never thought was possible?
In my experiences with these types of bonds, they tend to be my tightest friendships.
They truly get what I am going through whether they are positive or negative experiences. As a result I have learned to nurture and cherish these people.
If you have someone like this in your life then I challenge you to reach out to them by any means possible to tell them how much you appreciate their friendship.
Do not take this relationship for granted as it is a special bond God created.
Nurture it, grow it, and cherish it because you never know when it could be taken away.

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.
