Encouragement Today
Where do the words come from when the words have been lost?
Where do the tears come from when they have dried up?
Where does the love come from when it has been replaced with emotions that are less than desirable?
Where does rest come from when it has been consumed by worry?
Where does faith come from when it has been replaced by fear?
Where does trust come from when it has been torn apart by broken promises?
Where does your struggle hide? Is it in any of these or is it in something different?
My Friend, I am here to give you the assurance hope can be found in one constant variable that is always there no matter how bad everything can go. This variable is found in God. God is with you at every turn, right or wrong. He is with you through all the ups and downs of life. He remains faithful even when we are not faithful to Him.
Look to God today if you are in need of some encouragement. Turn your worries and concerns over and allow Him to guide you. Spend some time with Him and allow His peace to consume you from everything going on.
Be encouraged today by knowing that no matter how dark life can get, God is always standing by your side, holding you up when you are weak, and guiding every weary step you take. Let Him have your worries and struggles today.
Take the day off my friend, God has everything under control!

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
