I'd been feeling out of sorts lately, struggling with emptiness, being upset with my roommates for no reason, and adepressed - starting to wonder if I actually suffer from depression. I happened to stumble upon a new blog, and one of the posts really encouraged me! A fellow Christian is the blogger, and she was talking about a verse in Psalms (here's the full post):
"For it is you who light my lamp; the LORD my God lightens my darkness." Psalm 18:28
It reminded me about how good God is, and that whatever "darkness" I find myself in, HE is able to make it light even if I find that thought quite impossible. And I know He will:
"And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28
That is very comforting to remember, and it lifts my spirits. Yet, sometimes, like putting my boots on wrong even when I know they're mixed up, I know that God is good and I know His grace is enough, but I'm still stuck in this strange place. Thankfully, I woke up this morning feeling lighter (and less lost) and I know reading that blog was also part of God's work in this. Remembering all the things I have to be thankful for - this space heater, for one - is also helping a lot.
"God is good, all the time. All the time, God is good!"

hey! thank you for stopping by my blog. :) it's good to know that there are other fellow brothers/sisters that may be struggling like me and it's always encouraging to see that God uses us in many ways [even random ways!] to encourage and bless us. i hope your situation gets better and, although this may be a little strange to ask, feel free to drop any prayer requests! your post also encouraged me and let's continue to pursue God in everything and with everything we have!
philipaians 4:13 - "i can do all things through Him who gives me strength."
have a nice day! :)
