I Am Second

Some friends of ours past this link onto us. I sat mesmerized listening to their stories. Check it out.

I Am Second

The Shack Giveaway

So, I finally made it through this book, not because it was a difficult read but just because of timing. I received it from Suzanne right around the Holidays and it sat there waiting for me until things slowed down enough for me to get to it.

This book made me cry and laugh. But it also made me ponder some ideas I hadn't really thought about before. It gave me a better understanding of God's love, mercy and grace. Whoever wins this book will be blessed by it I'm sure.

Suzanne's idea was The Sisterhood of the Traveling Shack. So, if you are interested in this endeavor please leave a comment on this post. If you blog about this giveaway let me know that too in the comments and you'll gain an extra chance to win. I will be drawing the winner on Tuesday January 20th @ 9PM.

What Christmas is really about......

My God

I don't talk about my faith or my belief system much. But it is a big part of me an I will be sharing more of it from here on out. I stumbled on to this video a while back, before the darkness came. I went looking for it again today. What I saw was me over the last year struggling against something and crying out to God. It was so powerful for me. I hope it touches you, as well.

Aahh, I can breath again

Thank the Lord I am feeling much, much better. I feel like myself again. That dark cloud seems to have vanished. After so long of it being here I kind of catch myself looking for it. But I feel free now. I can tell everyday things are better. Just little things I catch myself doing that I haven't done for so long. So, for me meds aren't the answer. At least not this time. Counseling instead. I'm a talker, go figure. So, maybe now I'll be more active posting? Maybe.......maybe not. LOL

Healing

So, I went to the Dr. for this crazyness, tried some meds and once again(I've tried anti-depressants in the past and not been able to take them successfully)have not been able to take what was prescribed without feeling horrible. So, I went to church on Sunday, I didn't want to go but went anyway. And guess what, the sermon was great and so was communion and it was like God whispered in my pastor's ear and said this one needs to be for Mindy today!

I feel so much better. The whole time I've been going through this I've been praying for help but not letting go, not handing it over to him. Some how thinking that I could fix it, even though it was obvious that I couldn't. So, now I'm walking in faith that everyday is going to be better. And so far so good.
