Encouragement Today
Today’s Encouragement is inspired by this quote,
“Doing what you like is freedom. Liking what you do is happiness.” Frank Tyger
Life may be wrought with hardships, but I encourage you to see where your freedom and happiness is within you.
Are you liking what you are doing? Are you doing what makes you happy?
My friend, today’s encouragement is coming in the form of a challenge. Take some time to evaluate where your life is today. Are you living a life of true freedom and happiness? These are not overrated feelings. They are what makes life truly worth living. They give us hope when life is dark. They give us faith when life is difficult and they give us direction when we feel like we have lost our way.
Look within your heart and see if freedom and happiness have taken root and given you a true purpose. If they have not, consider making the necessary changes to allow them to be absorbed into your spirit so they can reside in your heart.
Life is too short for you to not experience them in your soul.
Make room for freedom and happiness in your life.

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
