Oh, yes. It has been quite a Monday. I got an essay back from my comparative religions class with a "C" on it. I have a week to rewrite it for a better grade. Then, inexplicably, I felt really really sick before I got on the bus to go back home and retrieve the stuff I needed for my next class. So I didn't go to that class today. To top it all off, my joints are all aching and my feet hurt really bad. I have very little energy at all. BUT...
1. I'm still able to walk on my own.
2. I have a God who loves me.
3. I have a family who supports me.
4. I get to live with my sister, who is rooting for me to get through all of this emotional and physical pain and only be stronger because of it.
5. Coffee still tastes excellent, and there is plenty of it for me to drink.
Those are my top 5 "things to be thankful for". I do believe the enemy is all over the sickness and weakness today, because the second week of the "Restoring Wholeness" group I go to meets tonight, and I have faith that it is going to be a key component in me getting the better of this depression and rising up a whole and joyful person. So I'm going to keep fighting. I hope that you all have had better Mondays, but if you haven't, try listing 5 things you can be thankful for, then thank your Creator and Daddy God for those things. It's already changing my perspective as I write this. Hang in there, warriors! This world is not our home, and God has prepared a wonderful place for us, but we need to live our lives with all that we have, because He's worth it. And he will love us through all of it.
