Hi Friends,
Hang tight, I know I need to post 2 Christmas recipes as well as an encouragement for today.
I am now to the point where I am going to be laying low this afternoon. I was up all night last night icing kiddos foot to keep her ugly surgery pain at bay, but to no avail. She got up this morning feeling that ugly pain as well as a headache. She was able to take some of her meds now she has had her surgery so she finally found something to get it controlled since it was borderlining a migraine.
I was able to bake her some protein rich muffins (which I will post here since she liked them) and some protein rich granola bars so she can snack on healthy food which will promote quicker healing, I hope.
I also wanted to get my house picked up so it doesn’t get ahead of me, but exhaustion has settled in.
We are living by an alarm still, but as long as the ice keeps the ugly pain managed then I will continue to do it. The doctor is having her ice 15 minutes on with 30 mins off. It is amazing how fast that 30 minutes in between goes.
I wanted to drop by to reassure you all that I am still here and will make every effort to keep posting even though she is down.
Thank you for your patience. I truly means a lot to me.

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.
