Encouragement Today
Today’s encouragement and motivation was inspired by this quote,
“Strive to not be a success, but rather be of value.” Albert Einstein
Today’s challenge is to encourage you to think about what is important to you. What do you live for? What makes you truly happy? What do you strive for?
My friend, I am here to share a gentle reminder that it is wonderful to have goals and dreams because they are what keeps you moving forward. I agree they are important, but do not loose focus on where your value truly is.
It is easy to get so focused on ourselves, our dreams, our goals, and our desires, but when we do, we often times forget there are others who love us, look up to us, and need us while we are spending so much time focusing on ourselves. While we spend this time focusing on our successes we often times forget our value to others.
My friend, I am here to remind you when you are gone, people will remember you for the value you were to them, not the successes you earned and worked so hard for.
People will remember you for the time you spent, the kindness and love you shared with them and others. This should be more important to us than our successes in life.
Have a good week!

I am a wife, mom, and daughter. I have served in the United States Army, gone to college, and received a Batchelor's Degree in Criminology. I married my husband when he was on active duty 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. I have been a wife for a lot longer than when I was in the Army.
While we were stationed in Germany, my daughter, who is 23 years old now was born and I chose to put my career on hold to be a mom and eventually a homeschool mom.
The past 15 years have been wrought with many struggles for various reasons, but it is as a result of those struggles that this blog has come about.
As the years passed and the struggle kept coming, I would say to God, "I'm not sure why we have to go through all of this, but if we have to God, then allow my story to serve as a means of encouragement to others so all this pain isn't for nothing."
Well, the years passed but the struggles never went away. I feel now is the time God wants me to begin sharing my story. It is my prayer as I share my heart that it will serve as a healing opportunity for you, my readers. Know you are not alone. There are hope and encouragement that waits.
