Encouragement Today
Today’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 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
