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 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
