“I can do all this through Him who gives me strength.”

I know personally how hard it is to be content in your current circumstances. I know personally how hard it is to be content in patiently waiting for God to point you the way you should go on a certain job title that suits you. I know personally how hard it is to watch the people you knew going far in life when you feel like you’re stuck in one place. The list goes on.

While social media is good to stay in touch with family members and friends who are in another state/country, social media can also be one of Satan’s greatest weapons to throw at you in your mind with a dagger for you to compare your life at the moment with other people’s life’s, make you feel insecure about your looks if you see someone who looks prettier or healthier and your wardrobe if you see someone who has better clothes than you do, make you feel like you’re not wise enough or worthy enough to get a job no matter how many times you’ve applied for jobs, make you feel like your walk with God is not as powerful or strong as others do, and vice versa.

I know this is easier said than done, but don’t give in to Satan’s mind games. If you see someone going higher on the mountain God has put them on, cheer on for them to keep going headstrong with obedience! Compliment someone on how gorgeous or good-looking they look today because they might have posted that selfie for an extra confidence boost! Compliment someone on their outfit for today because they are killing the look! Compliment someone on their health journey and give them some encouragement to keep moving forward! Congratulate someone on their promotion or getting a job because they’ve been fighting hard to get that job title! Joyfully and genuinely praise for those true children of God for how far they have come on their journey with God!

Be content in where you are today. God put you where you are today in your life for a very good reason. Let God give you the strength and renew your mind to be content in whatever it is you may be going through right now. Bloom where God has planted you.

*Reference: Philippians 4:11-13

I finally have some hope trickling in.

1. God sent me a verse through a friend:
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)

2. God sent me a message through a friend, essentially saying He wants me to move forward, into the life he has for me, no longer captive to the past (traumas, hurts, etc.).

3. I’ve spent years between a varied cast of therapists, counselors and a psychiatrist, with little no results. What’s more, based on my experiences, I have actually come to distrust them and their processes. Some of them are just as broken as me. Some of them have hurt me. I also went to a variety of healing bible studies, which did help somewhat and a support group (which was great, but I quit partway through). Another friend recently encouraged me to go back to the support group, saying she did it three times and got different things out of it each time. She also encouragement me to seek out counseling again and that it took her six counselors to find the right one. I got discouraged because the support group isn’t until September (they run it twice a year. I just missed the other one AGAIN - happened the first time too.) Then, I learned the church counseling program was full (they have scholarships for those with financial trouble). I have no money for a counselor, so I was like, what the heck, God? The counseling department sent me a list of referrals. With no expectation of response, I sent similar emails outlining my situation to a nearby Christian shelter with counseling services and to the only counselor on the list with EMDR (trauma protocol) training. Her regular fee is $75, so I thought for sure she wouldn’t meet with me, let alone take me on as a client. As it turned out, God picked her out for me. Her family didn’t have the help they needed during their crisis and her children still suffer to this day. (But she has gotten the help she needs to recover.) So she agreed to meet with me weekly, and even provide a fidget toy, for FREE.

After MONTHS of feeling like I’m aimlessly wandering the desert, I FINALLY feel like I have the direction and help I need to move forward.

Thank you, Daddy! [Yahweh]

Who do you think you are? #Depression #donotbelievethelies

This song encouraged me. Hope it encourages you too.

You Say by Lauren Daigle
I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I’m not enough
Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up
Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low?
Remind me once again just who I am, because I need to know (ooh oh)

You say I am loved when I can’t feel a thing
You say I am strong when I think I am weak
You say I am held when I am falling short
When I don’t belong, oh You say that I am Yours
And I believe (I), oh I believe (I)
What You say of me (I)
I believe

The only thing that matters now is everything You think of me
In You I find my worth, in You I find my identity, (ooh oh)

You say I am loved when I can’t feel a thing
You say I am strong when I think I am weak
And You say I am held when I am falling short
When I don’t belong, oh You say that I am Yours
And I believe (I), oh I believe (I)
What You say of me (I)
Oh, I believe

Taking all I have and now I'm laying it at Your feet
You have every failure God, and You'll have every victory, (ooh oh)

You say I am loved when I can’t feel a thing
You say I am strong when I think I am weak
You say I am held when I am falling short
When I don’t belong, oh You say that I am Yours
And I believe (I), oh I believe (I)
What You say of me (I)
I believeOh I believe (I), yes I believe (I)
What You say of me (I)
Oh I believe (oh)
