My friend, has life been a difficult journey?
I have a few words of encouragement this Christmas Day.
Consider it a present of hope from me to you.
“A comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there.” — Author Unknown
Have you been stretched so far past your comfort zone that you can not even remember ever being in one?
Remember these few words.
Growth won’t happen in your comfort zone. It only happens outside it.
The growth you are going through is making you stronger and wiser for the journey that awaits you ahead.
Consider this time as a blessing. God is growing you and teaching you what you will need for what is ahead of you. He doesn’t want you to get there and be blind in how to handle that journey. He is preparing you now with the skills you will need then.
“Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.”
James 1:12 NIV
Hang in there dear friend who is struggling, you have this, you can do this.
Cling to the “hope” there is a brighter future when you get there.
“All of this hardship is preparing you for a beautiful destination.” Unknown Author
You will celebrate your growth at the end. It will be a joyous celebration when reach your beautiful destination.

I am a wife, mom, and daughter. I served in the United States Army, went to college, received a Batchelor's Degree in Criminology, homeschooled my daughter every year from start to finish, and now I am currently a daycare teacher's aide (soon to be a two-year-old teacher coming this fall).
I married my husband when he was 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.
While we were stationed in Germany, my daughter, who is 24 years old now, was born and I made the difficult decision to put my career on hold to be her mom.
The past 20 years have been wrought with many struggles but as a result of those struggles, this blog was created.
As the years passed and the struggle kept coming, I would say, "I'm not sure why we have to go through all of this, but if we have to then it is my desire to allow my story to serve as a means of encouragement to others so all this pain isn't for nothing."
The years passed and the struggles did not. However, I feel now is the time God wants me to share these stories of hardships with the hopes they provide encouragement to you if you are struggling in the same way. It is my prayer they will serve as a healing opportunity for you.
I want you to know you are not alone. There are others who know where you are and what you are feeling.
Cling to the hope this won't last forever and that God is standing beside you while He holds you up and dries your tears. He is showing you the way, you just need to follow Him.
Big Hugs, Heidi
