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 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.
