and Purposeful Prose
The Depressed Christian sounds like such an oxymoron to my ears. Scripture teaches us to be joyful in hope and rejoice in our suffering. For those struggling with depression both of these can seem amazingly difficult at times. However, it's really liberating to share this thought. Depression forces me to become someone I'm not and [...]
Generally I like to learn. However, depression is one of those lessons you wish you could skip. I'm not talking about feeling down or discouraged. I'm talking about loss of interest and apathy, low mood and motivation. It can leave you feeling joyless, grey and sometimes irritable. I once read a post here on WordPress [...]
FYI and to whom it mat concern, I will be taking a blogging break. I have no idea how long I will be taking, but your prayers would be appreciated while I'm out of service. Thank you. Well.... not really out of service. More like run into the ground, burnt out and in dire need [...]

Friday morning I felt lost. Don’t worry, it wasn’t a dire kind of lost, more like a "what am I going to do today?" kind of lost. It's hard when you don't have a schedule. I'm not good at managing myself. I'm so glad that I have Jesus to help me. I'm a mess. I [...]

When I'm trying to move forward But it seems I'm standing still Lord, help me to remember that I can trust Your sovereign will. When I don’t understand Lord, help me to take Your hand I don’t want [...]
Tuesday morning I woke feeling utterly lost. I had no sense of direction. I knew that I needed to make some changes to my blogging schedule (among other things), but for the life of me I couldn't solidify a game plan. We womenkind enjoy poking fun of the menfolk who stubbornly refuse to stop and [...]
Pooped, tired, out of gas… I don't like taking breaks! I fight it tooth and nail! However, when the alarm went off this morning all I wanted to do was go back to bed. That's never a good sign. I'm going to sit this week out. Though I have plenty in my drafts to share, [...]
"You're My Recovery."Fireflight/Core of my Addiction On Tuesday I was filled with hope and discouragement at the same time. How is that even possible? I was hopeful because I was believing that I'd be okay, but discouraged because somewhere along the way I got off track and a little lost. This saddened me. So I [...]
Having Hashimoto's Disease means that my body doesn't cooperate as I would prefer it to. It's been this way for over a decade now. Tuesday night I woke up only a few hours after I went to bed. When I haven't slept well I can't function. I can push myself, but it tends to create [...]
