HELP

HELP!!!! The dictionary defines this word  as:
 transitive verb
1
:to give assistance or support to
2
a :to make more pleasant or bearable :improve, relieve. 
Such a small 4 letter word, yet so powerful. Sometimes asking for help is difficult for many reasons. The person that needs help may not want to be a burden or bring anyone else down.  Perhaps pride is the reason one doesn't ask for help. I myself have difficulty asking for help especially when I am having depressive feelings. Seriously!!! Who wants to hear "everytime I turn around stuff goes wrong". "I can never get ahead or catch a break"? No one! And most people who feel that way, that deal with depression, don't want their "bad vibes" to rub off on anyone else. Sometimes you just suck it up smile, get through the day until you find yourself cracking and crying tears that never seem to come to an end. The more you think positive thoughts, the more 7 negative thoughts or situations appear looking you DEAD in your face. So we hold in all our emotions and we fail to use one simple 4 letter word...HELP. Well today...I ask for your help.  I send up the smoke signal, throw out the "whootiwhoo call" and everything and say "I NEED HELP. 
Today has be challenging. Slight panic moments, breathing was rapid, had to collect myself, not much seemed to help. I've done all my wonderful positive affirmations, praying, meditating, but today I think I just need to vent. Sometimes it's tough. TRUST I don't look like what I've been through or what in GOING THROUGH! I know that in this season I am not alone. There are those that empathize and sympathize with me. Please understand, I'm not looking for anyone to feel "bad" or "sorry" for me. I know just like God has brought me out of countless situations before, he will bring me through these, but I am growing and recognize that I DO NEED HELP! Who can I talk to? You guys!! Those that read my blog, that understand this walk. The ones that encourage me. So just mention me in your prayers tonight of you can. And I will do te same for you.

    I'm praying for you.
    I'm a chronic depressive and I've been this way since I was extremely young.
    Prayer, positive affirmations, and etc have gotten me through a multitude of days.

    Outside of that I have to do practical things as well, eating better, drinking more water, exercising, writing, and allowing myself the space to deal with my feelings.

    Sometimes I think that because we know that we struggle with deppression we invalidate our own feelings about things and chalk it up to illness. Sometimes life just sucks! It rains on the just and the unjust. Sometimes even a person that doesn't struggle with what we go through would feel the exact same way if they were in our situation.

    Whatever the case, you've got this! You will get through this and you have people that love and care for you. You're not alone.

Weather Report

As I looked at my "Timehop" I saw a post I  wrote a year ago. The post was written as I watched the news, specifically the weather. It made me think, how many of us plan our day, waredrobe, etc around what the weatherman "predicts"? He says "a chance of rain" we take our umbrella. He says, "1-3 inches of snow" we wear boots. Even if when we look outside and there is NO sign of what the weatherman has predicted, we believe and carry out our day accordingly. What if we had the same faith in God, his promises and his word as we do the weatherman. Would we believe that "by his stripes we are healed" even when the dr report says differently? Will we believe that when we're in trouble "God will part the heavens and come down and grab hold of us" when we are in trouble regardless if there APPEARS to be no way out? Will we believe? When we look at our situations, bills, finances, life, and what we see doesn't match what God ha

Today I Pray

Today I pray against the spiriting depression! I pray that fir every negative thought, God replaces them with 5 positive, building, encouraging thoughts. I pray that when the spirit of loneliness creeps up, you feel Gods spirit of love. I pray that when the spirit of defeat creeps in, God overwhelms you with the spirit and the fighting warrior! I pray that when you feel like no one loves or appreciates you, god reminds you that I do. Sometime we may not get the love appreciation as WE would like but if we take THAT moment to think about how God feels we we don't love and appreciate him, our worries don't seem that significant.

Work It

Do the best that you can with what you've got. It may be a little, may be a lot. Regardless of the measure, we are all blessed with SOMETHING. The key is not to worry about what someone else has. If we constantly measure ourselves to others we may feel that we always fall short. When really we only know what people allow us to know. For instance, you may see a woman that is beautiful, with a georgeous husband, big house, expensive car. That same woman may have tons of weave, makeup covering up bruises from being abused from her hunk of a man. The point, live out YOUR destiny not someone else's. Be tue to God, yourself and those that love you. Seek and use he gifts and talents God gave YOU! Follow YOUR dreams and reach YOUR goals! What are YOU working with? Work it!
