Encouragement Today
Today’s inspiration comes from this quote by Joshua J. Marine.
“Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.” – Joshua J. Marine
Are you struggling with a difficult situation in your life? Does it seem like no matter how hard you to fight to get ahead, you seem to get knocked backwards at every turn?
My friend, it is my hope and prayer that as you overcome the challenges you will be able see the meaning hidden behind the challenge.
Each obstacle in life is there to allow you to grow, develop, and mature from. Once you learn the lesson, you will be able to see the meaning hidden in the message and then you will make peace with the difficulty. Whether we like what we are going through or not, it doesn’t really matter in the end. What matters is what we are able to grow and mature from.
My friend, instead of beating yourself up over the situation, take the time to study it. Gain knowledge and wisdom from it and in the end you should be able to see the blessing in it.

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.
