Encouragement Today and Weekend Reminder
This is your weekend reminder to take the time to rest your mind, body, and soul.
My friend, burn out is not worth all you go through if you do not take this time to rest. Trust me, it is much better to allow yourself this time than it is to push your body and mind beyond its limits.
If you see your life as too busy to allow yourself the time to recuperate from the busy week, then your body will rob you of it any way. God created our bodies with the need to rest and recuperate and if you do not listen, they will break down and will force you to stop.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28 NIV
My friend, you will enjoy this period of rest if you take it, then if your body takes it for you. It is much better to set your own time-table and allow yourself the time to breathe and enjoy it.
Make the time to…
STOP… BREATHE… REST
Look for something you have been wanting to do and allow yourself the time to finally do it. Go for that walk on the beach or through the woods. Pick up that book that has been calling your name or gather your materials for the project you want to create.
Think about your passion and take the time to enjoy it.
Happy Weekend!!

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
