Encouragement Today and Weekend Reminder
Today’s image is a simple reminder to find rest this weekend.
“Leave all your troubles in the past and have a wonderful weekend ahead.”

With this being Easter weekend, it is my prayer you take the time to sit back and reflect on the real meaning of Easter. Look beyond the eggs, the bunnies, and the bonnets, and examine the relationship you have with God.
My friend, take this holiday weekend and find your time of relaxation and reflection. Reflect back to why God sent His Son to the cross to die and rise again three days later. Why would He do this for you and me? How has this changed your life?
It is my prayer you will find a peace in your revelation allowing you to sit back and truly relax this weekend. Allow God the time to provide you with the needs and desires of your heart and through this you will find a restoration you need in your life.
Happy Easter Weekend, My Friend!

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
