It has been two months since I have posted.
Does everything ever just go black in your life?
Do you ever wonder “Why Bother”?
Well that is exactly what happened to me about two months ago. I just woke up and felt broken. I wish I could say that there was just one major event that caused the darkness. I wish that I could blow it off like it was nothing. I can’t….It was and is something. It is God telling me to STOP! It is God telling me to LET GO and LET HIM. It is God telling me to REST IN HIM.
I have been. I will continue to.
My pastor did a series last year called Can You Feel It?
I revisited a message he did on Depression. He said that…..
“Depression is God’s Gift to you,
to buy time to enable your
soul to heal.” -Bill Giovannetti
I have accepted that gift and God is working on healing my soul.

Let’s review 2 Corinthians 4:8-10
We are pressed on every side by troubles,
BUT…
we are NOT crushed.
We are perplexed,
BUT…
NOT driven by dispair.
We are hunted down,
BUT…
NEVER abandoned by God.
We get knocked down,
BUT…
we are NOT destroyed.
Through suffering,
our bodies continue to share in the death of Jesus
so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies.
We can concentrate on what we “Are”:
Pressed
Perplexed
Hunted Down
Knocked Down
OR
We can concentrate on what we are “Not”:
Crushed
Driven to Dispair
Distroyed
I pray that the Life of Jesus is seen in my life and my body.
Most of all though
Isn’t it exciting that…
We are NEVER ABANDONED BY GOD!!!
We were at Disneyland.
Craig, Ryan, Hope, Katie and I
One room – Four Nights
3 Days in the Park
As I was laying awake at 3am….I really felt blessed. My feet hurt. My husband and son were snoring. My daughter was hacking with a cold. Peace at it’s finest…NOT
But wait…..
It really WAS Peaceful!
I knew where my family was and even though my sleeping was disturbed…..
I knew I was Blessed!
Sometimes Life’s Chaos is very Soothing.
Even if I find myself playing Words With Friends at 3am. Even if I finally fall back to sleep with my earphones in and music playing. Even when I wake up tired and know that I am running around Disneyland all day.
Life’s Chaos can be very soothing!!
Remember there are reactions to every situation in Life….
I chose Joy and Peace!
