Dread, Defeat, Despair, and Disappearing
Dread, defeat, despair, and disappearing - this sums up my feelings lately. One day I'm doing well the next I'm in the dumps. If the medication was working I shouldn't have such ups and downs.

Wonderful Access
I just downloaded an app so I can access my blog on my phone! It got me thinking about how technology has brought the world to our fingertips. How we can bring an amazing amount of information around with us right in our pocket! We can search for a five star restaurant, see what's on …
How Many Ways

I’m Not Alone!
I'm in the process of receiving help. And the funny thing is it took me awhile to see it was the right thing for me to do. Have you heard the story of the man in the flood crying out to God for help and he drowned, never recognizing that God had sent help in …
Embracing God
I struggle still with what it means to live in grace and the moving forward into the new and improved version of me. I've come across this scripture twice now recently, in Romans 12, The Message version: "Embracing what God does for (me) is the best thing (I) can do for him." This helps me …
