Depression has had me down for the count more than I care to recall. It’s my inner strength, faith and spirituality that keeps me going. I’m still taking antidepressants, but without the other I would be lost. Spending weeks alone in my house stranded without transportation in isolation has been depressing in itself. Today I finally had the will to get up and get out of the house. Walking and jogging my way into a heavenly bliss. Listening to inspirational and spiritual music boosted my mood. I’ve also drawn in closer to God, reading the holy word, studying it, digesting it. In this moment I am full. Full of hope, my faith has grown, mind renewed. I was reading a devotion today that said, “we grow through pain, trials and obstacles of life.” All this time I’ve spent going through it, I can now see the growth. Living with a bipolar disorder is difficult, but when you learn to grow through it, except responsibility for your thoughts and actions, you can begin to take back some control, live and thrive in spite of it. I am learning to ride the waves of highs and keep swimming in the deepness of the lows, trusting through it all God is by my side. Depression is a spirit that even the prophets Jeremiah and Elijah faced, so did the servant of God king David. They were mocked and abused by the very people they were chosen to save, yet when they all cried out to the lord for help, he was there to lift each one up. I read self help books, but the bible has it all right in there. It has become the best self help book I’ve ever read. There’s so much power and presence between those pages. The living word it is. So as I continue this journey I will keep writing, there are very few likes, but that does not matter. I trust the purpose is bigger than the lack of engagements. The vision that God has given me is all interconnected with the writing. I live for the lord, his purpose will be fulfilled and the dream will manifest into the reality. I believe in the impossible and miracles manifesting beyond the bible.
