Encouragement Today
Your Encouragement Today is to remind you perseverance leads you to hope.
Hang tight as your ride out this tough time and cling to God’s promise…
“And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.”
Romans 5:3-5 NKJV
The key to these verses are…
“…tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope…. “ Romans 5: 3-4 NKJV
Perseverance was a word God gave me to cling to when we were struggling through the tough times we had when my husband lost his job back in 2014. He kept reminding me to “trust” Him and to persevere on. As a result, it truly gave me the hope we would come out of that crisis and we did.
It is my hope this gives you the strength to see God will help you through your situation as well.
Keep moving forward, My Friend and know God is a God of hope. This problem will pass and there will be a time you will look back at where you are today and see all that God has helped you get through.
Just remember the key to today’s encouragement…. tribulation produces perseverance, then perserverance produces character, and character produces hope.
Lastly, your hope is the light at the end of this very dark tunnel. You will get there.
You’ve Got This! You Can Do It!

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
