Pondering Thoughts of Hardships

I wanted to take a moment in the quietness of my house to reflect upon as well as remind my readers that peace does have the possibility to be restored in your life. I had to get up early this morning to give my baby dog his medicine and discovered he would need more homemade … Continue reading Pondering Thoughts of Hardships

The Beauty of One Piece of Pine Straw

Encouragement Today Today's inspiration came as a result of doing yard work. As I was raking up my pine straw to place it in my flower beds, God revealed to me how we, His people, are similar to that of the pine straw. When you see only one piece, you think, how can that one … Continue reading The Beauty of One Piece of Pine Straw

She has experienced many medical obstacles over the past years that have hindered her from getting her drivers license that today, I can proudly announce she has it.

Broken Reflections

Encouragement Today Today's Encouragement isn't going to be what I normally post. This one is written with the hopes to reach that person who knows the pain of darkness. I have been struggling since Saturday in what to write because my posts feel so artificial to me. I write about what others should do to … Continue reading Broken Reflections

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
