Encouragement Today
Today’s reminder is to slow down when life seems like it is spinning of control.
How many times do you get lost in the busyness of life’s craziness?
You keep going from chore to chore, project to project, activity to activity and you forgot to enjoy the simple things of life.
Did you forget what it is like slow down and smell the roses (per say), to see the butterfly on the flower, the hear the birds singing outside, or to hear the music playing on the radio?
Sometimes life gets so busy that we forget what it is like to slow down long enough to breathe.
Today’s challenge is to slow down long enough to enjoy the simple things in life again.
What do you enjoy, but forgot what it is like to simply do it any longer?
Take some time today to let those simple pleasures in your life pass through your heart and permeate your soul again.
Today’s challenge will allow you to refresh and reset your life again.

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
