Welcome To My New Journey

Welcome to my new blog. I am starting over new with a whole new blog from my previous one that has seen me through many years of homeschooling. It originally started out as a homeschool resource, but I am feeling God is wanting me to write from my heart to reach other people’s hearts.

Many posts I will be writing about will be light hearted while others will be from deep within my heart. One thing I promise to do as I begin this new journey is to write from a heart which a God is asking me to do.

We have lived many years of hard times and I have never shared them as I am a very private person, but I have always told God I can continue to walk this difficult road if it means it will touch someone else however, in order to reach others with our story it needs to be told. God is showing me now is the time to start telling my story.

My hope and prayer as I write about my story is that it will encourage those who follow my journey.

About Me

Heidi Benson

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, started working at a Christian school after being out of work for 20 plus years while I raised my daughter and now I am currently a volunteer assistant to the director at our local hospital. 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 27 years old now, was born and I made the difficult decision to put my career on hold to be her mom. The past 25 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
