I am excited to have you join me for week #2 in the series on perseverance, which continues for the next seven weeks with three of my incredible friends. If you missed my friend Mary Geisen’s post last week on Perseverance Through Fear, you can check it out by clicking here.
As of now, I plan to share a “Lessons from the Lake” Video that goes with the topic as well.
Please check out today’s video, it is my introduction to the series, and not part of the text below.
I am sorry. This week, I was not able to record a video to go with what my friend Holly Barrett wrote about today. (I am totally blaming jury duty, nasty windy, rainy weather which prohibited recording outside last week, and preparations for a women’s retreat I am speaking out this coming weekend).
Together we will share insight, challenges, and our faith through our journeys of perseverance. Please join myself, Mary Geisen, Holly Barrett, and Patricia Krank as we learn from each other and share encouragement with our own stories of perseverance.
Tweet ThisTo Persevere in Recovery ….. By Holly Barrett
I saw a meme online the other day that basically said a beautiful smile hides an injured soul so that no one can really tell how broken you are. I’m not sure if that’s a sadder commentary on our need to hide…or on others’ need not to know. Either way it reminded me of some days within my own recovery journey – days that were long and hard and often felt like they would swallow me whole. So I put on a smile so that no one would ever know.
My story of stronghold is the same as yours. Oh, not literally the same. There are many things that people turn to – alcohol, drugs, gambling, shopping, sex, eating, not eating – to try to control the noise inside their own heads. So in that way, all our strongholds are the same. They are the thing we turn to in order to relieve the stress of life just before those stresses overwhelm us. Short-lived release comes until the cycle starts all over again.
As the days of my own recovery began, I remember thinking this should be easy. Right? …..

2. Do you wonder if God still speaks today? Do you wonder if He would ever speak to you personally? Do you long to hear the voice of God in your life?
Have your read other books on hearing from God, but long for hands on practical application? or are you looking for ways to move you forward hearing from God?
If you answered YES to any of those questions, then I have exactly what you need. I now have an online e-course designed to equip you in understanding that God still speaks today, and He longs to speak directly to you, through His word, and others. He longs to encourage you, strengthen you and comfort you. The training on this site, is fully based on Scripture, and taken from my training manual Releasing God’s heart through Hearing His Voice.
I have been teaching these classes internationally for the last 10+ years equipping and training believers in discerning the Ways God speaks. God is speaking, Can you Hear Him?
