A note to my family and friends; this is a journal of my battle with depression. It is raw, it is real, and it may be hard to read at times. But this is all a part of my healing. It is powerful and therapeutic to have an outlet, and if God can use my heartbreak and struggles, how worth it this will be! If you feel led to walk this journey with me, please do. But please don't pick apart what I have said in the midst of a dark day, and use it against me. This is intended to be a source of processing the dark, while seeking the Light. If you are able to understand that, please join me on this journey back to health. Also note that I have no desire to hurt myself. My truest desire is to simply feel better.

Feeling Better

Today was so much better than yesterday! Today was a good day. My pain level was low. And…..I was NOT depressed! Yay. I really enjoyed my family, laughed, had some fun and got some Christmas shopping done. Yay for being productive!

I knew today would be better. There are so many reasons why I think we sleep at night. I think that one of them is that we can go to bed after a terrible day and wake up fresh and renewed the next day.

A friend of mine sent me some encouraging Bible verses today. The first is from the thrid chapter of Lamentaions.

21 Yet this I call to mind
and therefore I have hope:

22 Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.

23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.

24 I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”

25 The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him;

26 it is good to wait quietly
for the salvation of the LORD.

-- Lamentations 3:21-26

The second is, "I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint." --Jeremiah 31:25

Thank you friend for the fabulous verses. 

Thank you Lord for a really good day!
