Plain Down

[His lamb]

Depression has taken a good hold of me this week and I have found myself more down with each new day.

My eating is out of whack to the point where I just want to quit my food plan and not even go to the meeting tomight but know I must and will and somehow get things (ME) on track. It has been months since I have done any exercise.

I couldn't care to get out of bed in the morning (but I do) or wash my hair even (do that too). Want to just stay in bed, read and sleep.

I know this too will pass and there is much more going on in this world that is more serious than this and what I am going through.

No need to respond to this, just needed to voice it somewhere.

I'm sorry you feel so blue. :(

I pray that God will infuse your day with peace and, yes, even joy today. Don't forget that He loves you -- you are His precious little lamb. He's walking with you every moment.

I love you,

WOW, is that ever familiar. I can certainly identify with wanting to go off my food plan and the depression. Today is a better day for the depression but want wrong foods. Feel down because I can't eat them.

I was sitting here praying about it. I am not terribly spiritual or anything like that but I was sitting here praying and really crying and asking God how I was going to make this a life syle and was so overwhelmed with the idea. Then I looked here and saw your post and I said that is why God I can make it a life style. I hear your depression and I hear your pain and I hear the longing for things to be different. I too, want different results in my life and
to get back to you and your post and the no need to post, I wanted to post to tell you that God used your post to speak to me as to why I wasn't going to go off my diet today and why I wasn't going to throw away my plan.

I will pray for you and I know you will pull on the strength of GOD to see you through this. I have seen your posts in the past and I see a child of God who believes God is bigger than this trial. Not trivializing but I know this will seem small down the road when your faith comes out winning with the power of GOD working in your life.

Keep on keeping on.

Yours in Christ,
Melanie

As you may remember, I too struggle with depression, am overweight and in other ways FAR from what I'd LIKE to be.

HOWEVER, in God's amazing Providence, as I see it....we are here "together," united in the struggle, lifting each other up in our pain, no "barriers" between us, geographical or otherwise, AND therefore,

I am thankful that you're "here" and I will continue to lift you and yours in prayer.

I hope today brings you at least a small glimpse of a "rainbow" after yesterday's "storm."

Love,

Theodora
