How iPress on through De-Press-I-On (Depression)

This post I'm just sharing my feelings. I have a cousin, well technically we aren't blood related but blood could not make us closer. Our parents grew up, met their spouses, married, lived in the same neighborhood and raised families together. Most of my good memories involved her. We went to church, played, sleep overs, vacations, got in trouble, etc together. Well my cousin has been battling cancer for a bit. Nonetheless she has a positive attitude. Sure she has her days, who wouldn't, but overall she would bring encouragement to us in her faith of healing. This past week the dr gas her news that the cancer has entered her blood. This news has shaken her a bit. She has a husband and children that she is literally fighting to live for.  I believe that even though the dr says one thing about her diagnosis that God can turn it around. This is what I need from you. I need you to pray for my cousin Angie. Pray not only that God completely heals her, but that she is encouraged

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
