Motivation Monday

Your Monday morning motivation is to remind you to be the best you, God created you to be.

Life isn’t meant to be about competition with others because when we live a life such as this, we are met with discouragement at every corner.

Think about the meaning behind this quote.

“A flower does not think of competing with the flower next to it. It just blooms,”
Zen Shin

Take a moment and think about the deeper meaning here.

Think about how God created us and how He created us to be “uniquely us.”

Besides, if we were honest with ourselves and allowed this to be true, how freeing would that be. How freeing would it be to just be “me”.

Well, today I challenge you to follow God’s words and follow the design He had for you, for when He created you, He didn’t create you to be a competitor with others, instead, He created you to be “uniquely you”.

“… for I am fearfully and wonderfully made…”
Psalm 139:14a NKJV

So instead of competing with others around you today, take the time to just be “you” and just bloom.

New Days Brings New Strength

Simple Encouragement

This is your gentle reminder that no matter what you are going through that tomorrow is a new day and a new source of strength,

“With the new day comes a new strength and new thoughts.” Eleanor Roosevelt

As you close your eyes to go to sleep, ask God to refresh you with a new strength, with a new peace, and a new vision so you can see a new horizon tomorrow.

You can do this, my friend. Tomorrow is a new day, no matter how easy or difficult 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
