Encouragement Today and Weekend Reminder
Did you have a long week? If you did, be sure to take some time to decompress. I promise you burnout is not a fun place to be. It takes everything you have out of you leaving you drained and exhausted.
Protect yourself mentally, emotionally, and physically to prevent this from occurring because once it sets in, it is so much harder to take care of your loved one when you have nothing left to give.
Take the time this weekend to reset and allow yourself the time to breathe again. Rest your mind, clear it, and allow it to heal from all you have been through.
Even God instructed us to rest because He knew when He created us that we would only be able to handle so much physically and mentally before we broke. Listen to your body, My Friend! Allow it to rest so your week to come will be much easier for you to get through.
I am praying you have a restful weekend!

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
