Scrambling for work and trying to get things done around here has not left a lot of time for blogging. From a depression stand point I am feeling pretty good. Keeping my head up and forging ahead with everything. Have not had a "down" day in weeks, Praise God.
I really enjoyed the snow today and hope that there is still plenty to come. The dog is exhausted from playing with it and in it all day.

Chiles and Chocolate!
Watching Iron Chef on tv and the secret ingredients are chiles and chocolate. Just making me think of life and how we approach it. Do we go for the spicy and sweet things or just keep it plain and simple (safe?)? Are we so bogged down with fear that we don't do anything?
Get out and bite a little chile today and see what happens. We have to engage life to learn to function in it. Our safe places really are not very safe because they harm us greatly with their false promises of peace only to haunt us with doubts.

Felt like singing today.
Of all things, today I kept getting praise songs in my head and what a blessing they were. I am working at a college right now so just bursting out in song at the top of my lungs really was not an appropriate response. But since when have I been appropriate?
This joy overflowing is so wonderful to experience. Things (circumstances), really are not any different, I just am.
Quite coincidentally(HA HA) we just started a new bible study of the book of Phillipians which is all about the apostle Pauls' joy in all circumstances (prison, beatings, shipwreaks, etc.). Imagine that. Take a look at it, it really is amazing.

Continuity brings peace
Things continue to go well in spite of the outside influences. I have been able to keep up the momentum while work and other issues try to bring me down.
Counseling is a highlight as my wife and I shared another session tonight. We have both been battered by my depression and the fallout of years of living under the weight of it. There is great encouragement in the results so far and we look forward to more progress.
Are you looking forward to tomorrow or dreading it? There is so much to gain by moving forward. God really has a good plan for us and we need to reach for it. Speak to someone you trust, it could be a great first step toward the health you deserve.
