Encouragement Today
Today’s inspiration is to remind you no matter how hard life may be, to show up and engage in the activity you wish to not be a part of because you never know when God will bless you for your faithfulness and obedience.
“Life isn’t always… fun, easy, pretty, nice, or convenient but… show up anyway, for you never know when God will bless you for your presence.” Author Unknown
There are many times in life when you may find yourself tired from a hard day of work, exhausted from the demands of life, and discouraged from ongoing trials that keep you weighed down, but I am here to remind you to stay present when you just want to shut down.
I want to gently remind you to show up and engage if you feel God is leading you to attend the activity. You have no idea when or how God can and will bless you with your faithfulness and your obedience.
Have a nice 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

I feel like this all the time. Exhausted, fed up and tired from a daily routine. Eat. Work. Sleep. Sometimes I wonder what my purpose is, why I am here. And I still couldn’t find the answer. Very raw kind of writing. I liked it.
Please try to follow my blog page if you don’t mind. Thanks! 👏😊

I hear you so much! I seriously struggle with this all the time. This is actually how I was inspired to write this one. Hang in there and just one step it at a time. Are you off for a long weekend? If so, take some time to breathe and as you are up to it baby step your way through things that have been bothering you. One step does lead to another and one project becomes two as you just baby step your way through. Hugs!! Praying you get some much needed down time. 💜

Yes. I agree. I just have to breathe, meditate and take a long warm bath. Ha ha. I saw your post and I’m like “That’s how I feel all the time, bugger” Haha! 😊

I’m happy to know I’m not the only one too. I struggled just this morning to keep my tears held back for being overwhelmed with everything I do. Just know you are not alone. I think that is half the battle to succeeding this overwhelming battle. Yes, get a warm bath with your favorite relaxing music. Grab your fav snack and a fav book or movie and just decompress. It is healthy and sounds like much needed.

Yes. Just to think about nothing for the day. Not worry about anything and just slide away in comfort. Would totally love that. Thank you so much for the support. 😊
