Encouragement Today

59519795-7E6C-4245-8C25-64958B6BFA40Today’s Encouragement is based on this quote,

“I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.”  – Jimmy Dean

When life gets hard and directions become unclear, it is easy to get trapped in the state of fear and confusion.

However, it is important to keep your focus in life clear. If you do, it will enable you to continue moving forward without getting stuck in the difficult situation you are in.

Lean on God for direction and clarity because He never intends for us to be confused, misguided, or alone. Remaining in His presence will allow Him to guide you in the direction He intends for you to take. If you do, you will be able to truly adjust your sails and reach your destination.

Today’s challenge is to examine the course of your life. Is it all you hoped it would be or are you struggling somewhere? If you are struggling, turn the burdens you are carrying over to God and allow Him to know your fears and concerns. Allow Him into your secret or private life so He is able to guide you to your final destination.

Lastly, remember God created the winds and because He did, He knows how to calm them. He knows how to redirect them just like He knows how to redirect you.

Hold your head up high and know this storm is only temporary. Just turn your sails and follow the wind direction. You will get to your destination.

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.
