Encouragement Today

Today’s Encouragement is to inspire you to take the time to evaluate your life and look at everything that is going well.
“Your life is magnificent not because someone says it is, but because you choose to see it as such.” Ralph Marston
All too often we fall into a trap where we see and focus on things that are negative, but do not spend as much time looking at things that are positive.
My friend, your challenge today is simple, spend some time examining your life and focus only on the positive things. When you begin to focus on the things that are good, your life will not seem as bad.
By taking the time to view these positives in your life, your heart will begin to soften and the power of gratitude and thankfulness will be seen again.

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.
