I pre-scheduled a certain graphic to post on my Facebook page last week. At the time, I shared it to encourage those that visit my page. Little did I know at the time, it was posted to encourage me. You see, I have been battling.
I LOVE my time on the road, the Lord sustains me, but when I come home and decompress, it all comes out at the most inopportune moments. The other day, I attended my Turbo Kick class which is such a great way to de-stress! About 15 minutes in, not only did my stress release, but it manifested itself in tears. Not wanting my instructor to witness my breakdown, I quickly left and headed to the locker-room where I let it out (thank You Lord that there was no one in there.) I just bawled... overwhelmed... confused... tired... exhausted. The workout warrior in me was not gonna let this stop me. I battled back, let the tears finish their business and returned to class. I knew that I needed to be broken, but I also knew that I needed to battle. Depression hits me, but one thing I know is that I can't let my body loose motion, so I move... actually, I kick, I jump, I bur-bee! What God shows me in the battle is that He is still good... that this too will end... that His Word is true and that weeping may remain for the night....many nights, but JOY comes! That is the sure hope. Joy comes in the battle; not just at the end. So friends, it's okay to sit down and weep, you are still counted as a warrior. The battle belongs to God and He will not fall back. Press on when it's hard, Press on when it's dark, press on when you feel all hope is gone, because you know that it is not. Press on.

Amen! Thank you Mia for such strong words. I have been in a spiritual war for days. Yesterday’s sermon was on God’s Armor. God has spoken to me through so many vessels these past few days and He reassures me the battle is His not mine. I keep trying to flick Satan off my shoulder when I need God to take him out!

Thankyou today us a day my depression has gotten the better of me. I asked for prayers in my womens group. I than pressed on to clean the house which is a huge task as I wanted to just crawl back into bed and do nothing but cry and sleep.

The BlogA collection of writings from a life based on the truth that about midnight anything can happen. AuthorAs an imperfect servant of the Lord, I often feel I am fumbling my way through life, looking upward for guidance and outward to love. So, I write about it, to break up the noise in my head.
