Making The Best of Every Twist and Turn
Journaling Journey
Life is an adventure when you live my life.
I got up fully expecting for my day to go in a specific order only to hear my name being called from the bathroom. This is never a good sign or sound as this usually means there is a health issue of some kind.
By hearing this first thing this morning it means something went wrong and my day is about to derail before it has even begun.
I was right, I started my day out by sitting at the VA (Veteran’s Administration) ER waiting room waiting for my husband who has a cold.
I know this seems insignificant to write about, but this is how my life goes with my husband, daughter, and my life. I have to plan my life loosely around their medical needs.
This is why I have upgraded my blog to a 2.0 version. I am hoping my blog and my business will enable me to make some extra money to help out my sickly family.
I am not able to work outside of our home for all of these unexpected medical needs that arise on a regular and inconsistent basis.
I am hoping I will be able to get my day back on track and import more posts into my Encouragement Page, bake some Valentine cake balls, make some chocolate covered strawberries with the hopes I will make may family feel loved today.
My friend, if your day has started out anything like mine, it is my hope that you were able to salvage it and it turns out to be a wonderful one.
Have a happy day!

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
