Depression is Real

I'm really saddened to hear about the death of Robin Williams. He was such a talented man and it is a heartbreaking loss. So many of the media sources are mentioning his fight with depression and addictions. That pulled at my heart in the most profound way.

Depression is so real and a struggle I wrestle with. You've seen my post, it's almost like a war waged within myself. My heart breaks to think of the people out there suffering in silence. I've made my fight public so other people suffering can know they are not alone and they too can wave their flags with me, you don't have to face this demon alone. Don't allow this war to consume you, WE can get through this together. My heart was just so heavy after hearing this news tonight. Please feel free to text me any time you need a lift, you don't even have to tell me your name, 225-302-0295.

Don't Give Up

Shine Bright

He's Waiting

Feel like your world is caving in? Perhaps you feel you can't win. Lines have been twisted and crossed. Oh my, your feeling completely lost. The strength you seek comes from above. Dear child, draw on it from God's love. He'll pull you up when you are down. In life' s darkest times He alone will turn it around!  All you have to do is ask.  Is that really a hard task? The devil has only one ploy, that is to seek and destroy. Don't listen to the lies he feeds, God alone is all you need.  Sometimes your world has to be completely shaken before you can change the path you've taken.  Ask God to guide you each day and enlighten you in His ways.  Watch Him begin to lead and meet each of Your needs.  He's calling you to come home and you have a direct line, He's available anytime.  Say yes and He will lift you out of your mess!

A Mere Flower

My stems and limbs begin to droop 

As evening begins to set in for it's nightly loop

My small buds clench their eyes closed tight

While my delicate flowers cling to the vine as not to take flight

The wind twist and turns us all about

God is our maker so we have no worry or doubt

To the outward eye I appear weak with my blooms cast down

You mistake my peaked color as a fading frown 

What you don't know is I bow in prayer through the night

I reach out in praise toward the morning light

My colors come back so bright and clear

God was there through the blackest night standing near

He fed me, clothed me, and provided a way 

My God blessed me to see another day

I am a mere flower on a vine 

You are a child of God with a direct line

His power resides in YOU

Call on Him child of God, that's all you need to do!
