and Purposeful Prose
Do you hold on to too much? Do you ever feel like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders? Being an introvert, I'm personally great at keeping things to myself. Thoughts left unspoken, however, can become overwhelming if we stay there alone. I know what Scripture says. I shouldn’t be anxious for [...]
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 [...]

When I'm struggling to concentrate Can't see anything new Lord, help me to remember everything You do. 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?
