Christmas Encouragement
December 28, 2017
As the year comes to a close and you ponder the year to come consider what you want your life to look like in the future.
“The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are.”
J. Pierpont Morgan
Does this mean spiritual renewal or development? Does it mean a career or job change? Whatever your choice is you need to know the journey may not be easy, but the reward of peace, tranquility, and happiness in the end will make the journey worth while.
“Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.”
Psalm 51:10 NIV
With God’s guiding hand, you will succeed at your newest life journey. Seek Him for the path and direction He wants you to go. With God’s continuous guidance you will have a successful life journey at the end.
Remember a key element to this change… “The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are.” —J. Pierpont Morgan

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
