Hello everyone. Here are some tips that got me through my mess of anxiety and depression.

Jesus once said that worrying won't add a day to anyone's life. This is very true. I could worry about cancer till the day I die but it won't add a day to my life. And gosh darn it, if I really think I am going to die soon, I better enjoy every last second of my life!

I was depressed and tired, struggling to return to my old self. Then I realized there is only one true way to be happy: To be content with the now. I realized that I was trying to obtain something that was impossible. I also realized that I actually didn't want to be my old self. I created a new self. A person of knowledge and thankfulness.

A worrying mind is an intelligent mind that is off course. When I use to worry, I would think that I just wanted it all to end. I couldn't stand the bad feelings and repetitive thoughts. I made a discovery one day. Focusing on my feelings all the time fed energy into them. It was only when I moved my energy to other things that the negative lost its' power.

Take results one day at a time. You can't improve instantly. As discouraging as this is, you will get better. Patience brings rewards!

I hope this helped a little bit! Message me anytime for support

Hi all,

As I just ran across this post,
I see and hear this is like most,
I pray you read these lines that I may boast
our Lord, our Savior is my host.

So these few lines I bring,
that they may cause your soul to sing.
And pray you visit for a minute,
respite and think, hey; I am in it.

I have so many songs a new,
that they may make your heart renewed,
it's all for life that we be in it;
moment by moment I chose to win it,
and do it all, for love of Him
who died for me; cause of our sin.

So thus a praising I must go,
and bid you all adieu or so,
and now I go where I must go.

10 and counting, never before has this ever happened to me. T-sis, I think you were right.

Blessings to all,

Hi all,

Thank you T-sis,
I never knew of what I missed.
To play with words I found my bliss.

At first I thought this couldn't be,
It's not at all the sound of me.
It's all the Lord that puts in me,
all sorts of words for all to see,
the change He brings for us to be,
and strive for all the Love of thee.
I know it's not what I have done,
but what He's done for me!
