In my heart, I am holding Admin's hand as we walk down by the river where the sound of bubbling water calms Admin's frustration. Admin is telling me everything that troubles her. She is now relaxed and ready for the Lord to revitalize her--one of His favorite activities. Our Lord loves to lift up our troubled heart an place it into our Father's comfy lap. That is my favorite place to curl up and nap.

I am doing well today. This morning going into work, I resolved to keep conscious of God and invite Him to be with me during every interaction I had with both coworkers and patients. (I am a drug and alcohol counselor.) At the end of the day, I realized that I had not thought of God all day, as always. I kick myself in the butt every day after work for that. I was depressed over that and thought about praying, but I did not feel God's presence at the time.

The two lessons God is teaching me now are 1) practicing faith as a decision and not a feeling, and 2) learning to pray by faith even when I do not feel the joy of God's presence. Well, I said close to this: "God, I believe You are present even though I do not feel Your presence. All I ask is enough faith for right now to believe that You are always with me."

Suddenly, my eyes watered like they always do when God is full in my spirit. Just that little prayer of faith by decision, by free-will choice was enough. God was always with me, but when He say that I practiced the lessons He is teaching, He rewarded me with His presence, assuring me that everything He says is true, and that He will never leave me or let me go. I love God so much.

Hi everyone! Sorry it's been a while since I've been here. I'm having a little trouble with my internet and I wanted to hop on and let you all know that I've not forgotten about you. I was going to make a separate topic until I saw this one and figured I'd just post here.
I went to see my pdoc last Wed. and she wasn't very happy that I had two episodes back to back. The last one lasted nearly a week and that concerned her a great deal. She told me to call her during another episode and she would try and do an adjustment or whatever needs to be done, and hopefully slow it down. I started on my Equetro again this week and have done really well so far. I am on Seroquel during the day and Equetro at night so hopefully that will do it.
I am keeping you all in prayer. Although I'm not here much lately, I'm here in heart. Sherr, keep your head up, there's many prayers going up for you. Larry, the response that I just read from you was really touching and it was such a blessing to read those beautiful words. Keep on looking up. Smile
Okay, I'm going to go for now. Hope to talk to you all soon. I really miss being here.
Y'all take care and many blessings to you,
HUGS AND ANGELKISSES TO ALL!!
