Today’s encouragement is coming via the lenses of someone who is worn out, beat down, frustrated, and exhausted.
I know there are many of you who are living a season in life where this is you as well.
My encouraging words to you are these,
“You are doing an amazing job!”
Do not let society dictate how you feel about yourself.
Do not let them determine your worth, whether you are struggling at every crisis or you are feeling like a “rock star” at this thing called life.
We all go through seasons where we are on top of the world and everything is running smoothly and the problems are minimal, to where no matter which direction you turn, there is another crisis just waiting for you to resolve.
My friend, today I am here to encourage you to keep your chin up and make some time to “rest” today.
If you are in a season of struggles, conflicts, or busyness; take some time to rest your mind and body so you are better able to handle what comes your way next.
By doing this you will be amazed by the strength you will be renewed with.
Lastly, remember if this is a difficult season, it will not last forever.
“The seasons in life are like the ripples in the water. They are all uniquely original and will never be the same once they passed.” -HD Benson
No matter how difficult life may be, rest in the assurance, this season will pass. Take the experiences you have learned from and leave behind that which you can not change.
My friend, you will get through! Today will be a better day, no matter how difficult your life may be.

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
