Good Mornng

I am still here. I am still hurdling obstacles within my life while I get my people back on their feet. My dear daughter is recovering nicely and is now working on building up her strength again. My Mr T is still recovering, all be well, for what he has been through. He is still down and may still need to go back to the doctor to check out his blood clot in his leg. I am praying this isn’t anything.

On Friday I received a letter stating, as if I don’t have enough on my plate, that I now have been selected by my city for Jury Duty. I know many people see this as a good and honorable deed, but for me right now I see it as a huge and stressful burden.

I am going to contact the City to see if due to the health needs of my family that I can be removed from this list right now. I hope I can. I have way too much stress on my plate at this moment in time that I need this off my plate.

Please know I have not forgotten about our blog. I am still here. I promise when I can think again I will be posting regularly again.

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
