Encouragement Today
How many times do we take credit for what we build, what we create, or what we make?
- Does this mean the career you are doing well in?
- Does it mean the college class you are taking or the degree you are earning?
- Have you signed a contract for an amazing job opportunity?
What does this look like in your personal life? What is going right that you have taken full credit for without giving it a thought that God actually blessed you with your accomplishment?
Now for a humble awaking.
We are not in control of anything that goes right or wrong in our life. God is in complete control of our circumstances.
He blesses us with what we have. He gives us the strength to get through the trying and difficult times. There is nothing in our lives that we have complete control over. Only God has this complete control over everything.
Only does He know what our future holds and how today molds us for our future.
“For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God.”
Hebrews 3:4 NKJV
Our job is to not become prideful and begin thinking we are doing everything for ourselves. God wants us to give Him the credit and the glory for our accomplishments because without Him we would not be blessed.
Today’s challenge is to give Him the credit for all the great things in your life. Do not take credit for all that you have accomplished. Give God all the credit.
My friend, today be humble.

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
